Ebola case being treated in Glasgow hospital

A health-care worker has been diagnosed with Ebola and is receiving treatment in Glasgow, according to the Scottish government. The patient is an aid worker who was helping to combat Ebola in West Africa, according to a Scottish government news release. The patient returned to Scotland Sunday night from Sierra Leone and was admitted to hospital after feeling unwell.

Scotland has been preparing for this possibility from the beginning of the outbreak in West Africa and I am confident that we are well prepared.
