The outbreak of the deadly Ebola Virus Disease (EVD) has created has heightened tensions worldwide causing countries to take precautionary methods.

An Air France 1300 flight was today isolated at Madrid’s Barajas International Airport in Spain after a Nigerian passenger on the flight fell ill with a fever and shivers, causing fears he may have Ebola, according to the reports.

In separate statements, Aena and Air France confirmed that a passenger on the Lagos outbound flight via Paris started shaking during the flight.

The flight was towed away to be disinfected immediately it touched down at the airport and the other passengers on the flight disembarked from the plane while the sick man was isolated.

The return flight was thereafter cancelled.

According to the spokespersons for Aena, the airport operator and Spain’s Ministry of health, who spoke to Reuters, Ebola emergency measures had been activated at the facility.

Meanwhile the Spanish government has stepped up its response to suspected Ebola cases after a nurse, Teresa Romero, in Madrid was diagnosed with the virus last week. Though she is still seriously ill, she is said to be stable.

Two Spanish priests, Miguel Pajares and García Viejo, have died of Ebola after contracting the disease in West Africa and nurse, Teresa Romero, who got infected by one of the priests while treating him, is recuperating in a Madrid hospital.

Meanwhile, the United Nations atomic agency plans to provide West African countries hit by the disease with a nuclear-related technology to help faster diagnosis.
