A male passenger who landed at Stockholm's Arlanda airport has been transferred to an isolation unit amid fears he may be suffering from the Ebola virus.
The man landed at the airport on Sunday afternoon showing symptoms often associated with Ebola. It is understood that the man is not from one of the affected countries encountering the epidemic, which has claimed almost 5,000 lives.
Newspaper Aftonbladet reported that the man had flown to Sweden from the Middle East.
"The person vomited, was out of sorts and felt bad. Nobody concerned with the present situation can classify it as Ebola; it could be anything. But it is better to be safe than sorry," Ulf Wallin, Swedavia's press officer told Aftonbladet.
The patient has since been transferred to an isolation unit at Karolinska University where he will be examined by medics.
