A case of Ebola has now been confirmed in the UK, but the risk to the general public remains very low. Ebola can only be transmitted by direct contact with the blood or bodily fluids of an infected person.
The UK case – in a healthcare worker in Scotland who arrived in Glasgow from Sierra Leone on Sunday – has been confirmed by the Scottish government. The patient was placed in isolation at Glasgow's Gartnavel Hospital and has been transferred for specialised care at the Royal Free Hospital in London.
The healthcare worker left Sierra Leone on December 28 and was a passenger on flight AT596 from Freetown to Casablanca and flight AT0800 from Casablanca to London. They then transferred at Heathrow to flight BA1478 to Glasgow.
