Default Ebola case confirmed in Glasgow hospital
Quote:
A healthcare worker who has just returned from West Africa has been diagnosed with Ebola and is being treated in hospital in Glasgow.

The woman, who arrived from Sierra Leone on Sunday night, is in isolation at Glasgow's Gartnavel Hospital.

All possible contacts with the case are being investigated, including on flights to Scotland via Heathrow.

The woman will be transferred to specialist high level isolation in London as soon as possible.

At a news conference in Glasgow, First Minister Nicola Sturgeon stressed that the risk to the general public was very low.

She added that the patient was thought to have had contact with only one other person since arriving in the city, but that all passengers on the flights the woman took will be traced.

Alisdair MacConachie, of NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde, said the woman was "not showing any great clinical concern".

NHS Scotland said infectious diseases procedures had been put into effect at the Brownlee Unit for Infectious Diseases at Gartnavel.

The patient returned to Scotland from Sierra Leone late on Sunday via Casablanca and London Heathrow, arriving into Glasgow Airport on a British Airways flight at about 23:30.

While public health experts have emphasised that the risks are negligible, a telephone helpline has been set up for anyone who was on the BA 1478 Heathrow to Glasgow flight. The number is: 08000 858531

The patient was admitted to hospital early in the morning after feeling unwell and was placed into isolation at 07.50.

Yes because being a healthcare worker and trying to help suffering people in other countries makes you such a twat...

I think the health sectary said a few months back it's impossible to be able to test everyone that comes from Africa. The whole testing at airports thing is very much dependent on the passengers offering themselves to be tested. Seems easy enough for someone to sift through.

All the main hospitals and local authorities are well prepared so this is nothing to worry about.

Why help people here when there's not a problem yet? While in Africa the problem is there, if you stop the source it stops the spread

I think he means help out at home - with the homeless, or the elderly, or impoverished in the UK. Which is fair enough really.

They didn't have any symptoms until arriving back in the UK. They hadn't even been back 12 hours before they went to hospital.

Hope they recover soon!
