A Swiss woman with Ebola in Nigeria did not travel to the Democratic Republic of the Congo, the centre of the current outbreak, according to Switzerland’s foreign ministry.
The ministry said the patient, who is married to a Swiss diplomat, is believed to have contracted the virus during a trip with her husband to Uganda.
That account conflicts with earlier information from Uganda, which said she had visited eastern DR Congo. The discrepancy adds to concerns about containing an outbreak that is already the most geographically widespread on record.
