A patient showing multiple symptoms of Ebola is being tested at Beirut's Rafik Hariri University Hospital for the virus, a Health Ministry source told The Daily Star.

The source said that the results of the tests have yet to be released, and that Ebola causes symptoms similar to other virsues, so it was too early to make a judgement.

He explained that 12 patients suspected of carrying Ebola had been tested over the past months in Lebanon, none of whom tested postive.
