Authorities are moving ahead with plans to disclose details on individuals suspected of being infected with the Ebola virus, and the flight numbers of aircraft they boarded, once their blood samples are sent for testing at the National Institute of Infectious Diseases, health and transport ministry officials said.

Information that will be made public includes gender, symptoms, countries they visited, any record of contact with Ebola victims abroad and the prefecture where they live, as well as flight details and the number of crew and passengers aboard, the officials said on Tuesday.

In cases involving non-Japanese, the authorities will also disclose their nationality.
