Ebola Hit Uk by Vikkie14: 12:45pm On Dec 30, 2014
When Nigerians have almost or forgotten about this deadly virus, some countries are still fighting with it while some ebola-free countries are detecting cases in their domain. UK is one of such as they have detected a "case" of the virus.
A healthcare worker, who returned from West Africa, has been diagnosed with Ebola virus and is being treated in a hospital in Glasgow, BBC informs.

The female medic arrived from Sierra Leone in the night of December 28, 2014, Sunday, and is now in isolation at Glasgow’s Gartnavel Hospital.

According to the latest reports, all possible contacts with the case are being investigated, including on flights to Scotland via Heathrow.

This case has been confirmed by UK Health Secretary Jeremy Hunt.
It is also known that she will be flown from Glasgow and taken to the Royal Free Hospital in north London as soon as possible.

Mr. Hunt states that the government is doing absolutely everything to keep the UK safe.

The health secretary adds:“We are also reviewing our procedures and protocols for all the other NHS workers who are working at the moment in Sierra Leone.”
