The article doesn’t seem to confirm that it’s Ebola.

The article does not confirm a positive test for Ebola. The patient is in strict isolation, surrounded by a police detail.

Would the authorities ever admit to a positive diagnosis? Do the police have shoot-to-kill orders if the patient should attempt to leave quarantine?

We will be able to tell in two weeks. If the patient is still alive by then he is probably free of the disease. Presumably there will be a cheery follow-up announcement.

And if there is only silence - that will tell us something too.
