Poll: Should those exposed to Ebola be sent back to the UK for treatment?
A sixth individual - a healthcare worker - has been evacuated back to the UK after being potentially exposed to the Ebola virus in Sierra Leone.
The worker is not exhibiting symptoms of the disease and the incident is not related to that of five military healthcare workers brought back in recent days, Public Health England (PHE) said.
A female military healthcare worker who tested positive for the deadly virus is currently being treated in a high-level isolation unit at the Royal Free Hospital (RFH) in London.
PHE said that three out of four of her colleagues who were also brought back have now been discharged from hospital and will be kept in private accommodation where they will be monitored for any symptoms for the remainder of their incubation period.
