> The Swiss government told Reuters on Friday that the Ebola patient in Nigeria and her husband had not travelled to the Democratic Republic of Congo, contradicting Uganda’s account. Uganda said she had visited eastern Congo, while the WHO and Africa’s top health agency said they had not received confirmed information of such a trip.
