A British healthcare worker in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) has tested positive for Ebola, marking the first case involving a UK national linked to the current outbreak. The patient, whose identity remains undisclosed, will be medically evacuated from DRC to the UK for specialist treatment and is expected to arrive on Wednesday or Thursday. Since May, the DRC has been battling an Ebola outbreak caused by the rare Bundibugyo strain, which has resulted in over 10,000 cases and nearly 5,000 deaths across four African countries. The UK government confirmed it will activate well-established procedures to handle this case, maintaining that the risk to public health in Britain remains low.
