Two people suspected of having the potentially lethal Marburg virus have tested negative, according to a Thursday statement from the city of Hamburg's social welfare office. They traveled to Germany from Rwanda.

German police cordoned off part of a train station in Hamburg and isolated two people to reduce the risk of the deadly Marburg virus spreading.

Similarly to Ebola, the Marburg virus is spread via contact with the bodily fluids of an infected person, as well as via contact with infected materials.
