Ebola patient flown to UK from DR Congo

A British medic working on the Ebola outbreak in the Democratic Republic of Congo tested positive and was flown to London for specialist treatment. The government said the patient is being treated at the Royal Free Hospital in a high-level isolation unit designed for this purpose. Renu Bindra of the UK Health Security Agency said the risk to the wider public remains low. Africa’s latest Ebola outbreak has killed more than 5,300 people, the vast majority in the DRC.
