Ebola patient evacuated by RAF to Britain not ‘seriously unwell’

A British healthcare worker who tested positive for ebola in Sierra Leone is being evacuated to the UK on a Royal Air Force jet, the Department of Health has said.

The man, who is not “seriously unwell”, is being taken to RAF Northolt in west London.

He will then be transported to the UK’s only high-level isolation unit at the Royal Free Hospital in Hampstead in north London.
