Czech Ebola error sparks Ghana row

Czech medical workers have sparked a diplomatic row after they covered a Ghanaian student in black plastic and rushed him to quarantine over unfounded fears that he had Ebola.

The student was apparently suffering nothing more than a bad cold.

Ghana's Prague envoy Zita Okaikwe says her government would lodge a formal complaint over the incident.

Ghana has not been affected by the worst ever Ebola outbreak, which has killed thousands in West Africa.
