Germany is rightly on alert because of travel patterns from Rwanda, but there are NO CONFIRMED CASES there from the earlier scare.

Rwanda is in the midst of an outbreak of Marburg virus disease, a hemorrhagic fever with a high fatality rate that has killed 11 people there this year.

The disease has been found in multiple African countries over the last several decades but never before in Rwanda, in east-central Africa. It was first detected in the country in late September, and since then, 36 cases have been reported, according to the health ministry of Rwanda.

This week, the authorities in Germany closed part of Hamburg’s central train station after a medical student and his companion reported feeling ill. The medical student had had contact with an infected patient while in Rwanda. Both people in Germany tested negative for Marburg, the authorities announced this week, emphasizing that there was no risk to the public.
