A three-year-old girl has been banned from a kindergarten in Italy after her classmates’ parents protested her return over fears she could have Ebola after a vacation in Uganda. Despite no cases registered there, parents demanded a full check-up.
The girl’s parents have been forced to keep the child at home for a week after other parents threatened to boycott the public school in the town of Fiumicino, near Rome, despite the child feeling fine and showing no symptoms.
“Uganda is Ebola-free, and anyway I had my kids tested to make sure they are in good health," the child's father said to In Terris online newspaper. "There was no actual reason to imagine a risk…the only explanation is we were coming from Africa. What happened is pure madness."
