On October 1, 2026, a female patient was placed in isolation at a Montreal hospital after displaying symptoms that resembled Ebola. Health officials later confirmed that the case was a false alarm.
The precautionary measure reflects Canadian hospital protocols, which call for immediate isolation of individuals showing possible Ebola symptoms because of the virus's high lethality.
