The one-year old Nigerian baby was rushed to the Royal Children’s Hospital on Friday after presenting symptoms similar to those experienced by Ebola patients.
It was understood that the child had arrived in Australia after being in Nigeria, where there had been some known cases of infection.
According to Mail Online, paramedics donning full protective suits transferred the baby to an isolation room according to the Herald Sun.
The Ebola scare would have been the first real test of Victoria’s Ebola Virus Disease Response Plan which was rolled out across metropolitan and regional health services following a scare in Brisbane earlier this month.
The Nigerian baby incident is the second scare involving Ebola on Australian shores this month.
It comes shortly after a Brisbane man was feared to have been infected with the disease following his return from a trip to the Congo in August.
