Brasília:Brazilian health officials Friday (Saturday in Manila) quarantined a Guinean man feared to have Ebola, but stressed it was a precautionary measure and the man no longer had a fever or other symptoms.

The 47-year-old man had arrived from Africa last month. He checked into a clinic in the town of Cascavel having had a fever on Wednesday, and on Friday was taken in an air force plane from the southern state of Parana to the National Infectious Disease Institute (Fiocruz) in Rio de Janeiro.
