Knowing Sky News it could be anything. They might have found his missing cat or something.

don't people take anti malarials?

Locals and returnees? No, often they don't. Too expensive, too many side-effects, keeping the newer drugs as the last line of defence rather than using them routinely. Last time I went, my relatives took a rather sniffy view of travellers using the remaining effective drugs as a prophylactic. They took them only in a real emergency, and not if they got a mild case.

also lots of speculation that it is airborne as people inexplicably caught it even with barrier nursing; plus the animals testing vaccines, though separate, infected each other...?
