Reports say a man has been quarantined in India after he showed a resurgence of the Ebola virus.

The man (26) was said to have been cured in Liberia, but continued to show traces of the virus after arriving in the country.

The Indian health ministry says the man had been shown to test negative, but had been quarantined as a precautionary measure when he arrived at New Delhi Airport on November 10th.

It says subsequent tests detected traces of the virus.

India has screened thousands of passengers travelling from Ebola-hit West Africa in recent weeks.

This is the first confirmed case of Ebola in India, although the victim contracted the virus abroad.

The Ebola outbreak has killed more than 5,100 people this year - most of them in Guinea, Liberia and Sierra Leone.
