A suspected Ebola case is being monitored at a London hospital after a humanitarian worker was ‘exposed’ to the disease in DR Congo, the UK Health Security Agency said.
The British resident had been working in the African nation as part of a humanitarian organisation when he is feared to have been exposed.
He was evacuated on a chartered flight as a precautionary measure, the agency said, and is now being ‘monitored and assessed’ at a hospital by specialists in the capital.
The worker is not currently displaying symptoms and ‘remains well’.
There has not been a single case of Ebola recorded in Britain since 2015
