Across International Borders: Ebola In The UK? by Lucario007(m): 4:09pm On Aug 25, 2014
The news that the a Briton infected in the Ebola outbreak in West Africa has been flown for treatment in London makes headlines throughout Monday's press.

As the first Briton to have caught Ebola in the current outbreak is flown back to London for treatment, the Monday press go big with the story. The Daily Mirror pictures the departure of the patient from Sierra Leone, where he had been working, in an isolation unit tent.

The Daily Mail names the health worker involved as 29-year-old William Pooley from Woodbridge in Suffolk, who had been working in Sierra Leone since March.

For the last five weeks, the paper says, he had worked at a specialist Ebola centre.

His boss from another West African health clinic tells the Mail, "Will said he felt a strong responsibility to the patients there as they were being abandoned by doctors and nurses who were fearful of contracting the Ebola virus".

Mr Pooley will be treated in a specialist ward at the Royal Free Hospital in Hampstead, London, which the paper says will be his "home for months".
