UK health worker monitored for Ebola after DRC evacuation
Guardian World1 min read103 words
A UK resident was medically evacuated from the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) after a humanitarian worker who had been treating Ebola patients was potentially exposed to the virus. The UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA) confirmed that the evacuee is now under observation at a specialist hospital in London while the worker is being monitored for signs of infection.
The evacuation follows the DRC’s ongoing Ebola outbreak, during which the humanitarian worker provided care to patients. The UKHSA is coordinating the monitoring and treatment of both individuals, and the situation remains under close scrutiny as authorities assess the risk of further transmission.
