Sunnybrook patient tests negative for Ebola
Lab tests say the woman admitted to Toronto's Sunnybrook hospital on Wednesday morning does not have Ebola.
Sunnybrook said via Twitter that tests for the deadly, infectious disease have come back negative.
Doctors ordered the tests after the unidentified woman came in complaining of fever and nausea. She had recently travelled to West Africa where an Ebola outbreak has claimed more than 10,000 lives since 2013.

Canada has never had an Ebola case diagnosed within its borders.
A mother and child were treated for Ebola-like symptoms last month at a London, Ont., hospital, but preliminary blood tests for the disease came back negative.
A number of other people suspected of having the disease have been tested, and ruled out, in various parts of Canada during the ongoing outbreak in West Africa.
