Vic man treated for infection, not Ebola

A Melbourne man who is suffering an infection has been taken to hospital by paramedics wearing full protective gear.

But Ambulance Victoria's emergency management manager Paul Holman says it is not a suspected Ebola case.

"Paramedics took standard precautions used for infectious diseases and used personal protection equipment," Mr Holman said.

The man was taken to Royal Melbourne Hospital in a stable condition.
