The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia yesterday suspended pilgrimage visas
from West African countries following the death of a patient in Jeddah who was
suspected to be infected with Ebola Virus Disease after he went on a business
trip to Sierra Leone. The World Health Organisation (WHO) and the Saudi authorities
confirmed the infection after tests were conducted on samples from the victim
which were certified EVD symptoms of "viral hemorrhagic fever". The Saudi Health Ministry also stated that it was working to trace
the man travel's route and identify those he had contact with.
