Two young girls suspected of having Ebola have been cleared in follow-up tests in Melbourne.

The original tests came back negative, but they had to wait for 72 hours until further tests were done.

Additional samples were also negative, and the girls have recovered from their illnesses and returned home to their family.
The negative results means there is no risk to passengers who travelled on the same flight from Abu Dhabi.
The girls had been on a trip to Guinea with their family.
