A 25-year-old man who was being monitored for Ebola in an isolation ward at the Government General Hospital in Chennai was discharged on Sunday afternoon.
Doctors at the hospital said the man showed no symptoms of being infected and all his vitals were normal. He was taken to his hometown in Theni district on Tamil Nadu on a 108 ambulance.
The man arrived in Chennai on Saturday night from Guinea. He had approached the health facility at the airport asking to be tested for the virus.
Doctors said though he had been discharged, he would continue to be monitored by local health authorities.
Guinea, where the man arrived from, has shut its borders with West African neighbors Sierra Leone and Liberia, seeking to halt the spread of Ebola. Almost 1,000 people have died in the outbreak, the majority in the three neighbouring countries.
Doctors at the Government General ospital said the man showed no symptoms of being infected and all his vitals were normal. He was taken to his hometown in Theni district.
