LISBON, Portugal (AP) - The Angolan health ministry may shut down the isolation ward of an Angolan hospital treating victims of the Ebola-like Marburg virus to stem the spread of the disease, an Angolan health official said Monday.
A team of World Health Organization experts was visiting the ward in Angola's Uige province to evaluate the situation and a decision could be reached in 48 to 72 hours, health official Filomena Wilson said.
Wilson said the decision would take into account the needs of patients who go to the hospital for other illnesses.
