Two volunteers with potential Ebola exposure flown to Britain

Two volunteers with potential exposure to the deadly Ebola virus are being transported to Britain for precautionary monitoring, health officials said on Friday. The volunteers, who had been working with victims of the vast Ebola epidemic in West Africa, would arrive on Friday for assessment, and then be monitored for the rest of a 21-day incubation period, Public Health England (PHE) said. The first volunteer was potentially exposed in Sierra Leone because of damage to personal protective equipment, PHE said, but had no contact with the blood or bodily fluids of any Ebola patient during this time. It did not say where the second had been working, but said this volunteer was being brought to Britain by their employer, a non-governmental organisation, in a private aircraft.
