Ebola is still hitting hard in Sierra Leone as a female health worker who returned from Sierra Leone on Sunday night was diagnosed with Ebola. She is presently being treated at a hospital in Glasgow. According to Jeremy Hunt, the UK Health Secretary who confirmed the news, she is in isolation at Glasgow’s Gartnavel Hospital. BBC reports that all possible contacts with the case are being investigated, tracing it from the flights she boarded to Scotland via Heathrow. Hunt told reporters that she will be flown from Glasgow and taken to the Royal Free Hospital in north London “as soon as we possibly can. ”The hospital is also where a British nurse William Pooley who contracted the virus was treated. The Ebola Virus is something that needs to be promptly and carefully dealt with before it gets of hand in the currently affected country.
