‎I hope this is contained as soon as possible. Two cases of the Ebola Virus Disease has been confirmed in the UK.

The first case is from a 58 year old British health worker who had been working in Sierra Leone with Save the Children. She was diagnosed of the disease while on a flight from Casablanca to Glasgow on Sunday night. She was admitted to Glasgow’s Gartnavel Hospital hospital on Monday morning and transferred to a specialist unit in London this morning.

Two more patients have also being tested for Ebola in Scotland and Cornwall. One is being examined at the Royal Cornwall Hospital in Truro, Cornwall, and the other – a female heath worker – at Aberdeen Royal Infirmary.

Nicola Sturgeon, the First Minister of Scotland told BBC radio. “Although this is another returning healthcare worker from West Africa, the patient here has had no, as far as we’re aware, direct contact with people infected with Ebola. This patient over the course of today will be transferred for tests.”
