Woman Might Have Brought Ebola To Scotland

A woman reportedly from Sierra Leone fell ill at an immigration facility centre in Scotland and now is being tested for the Ebola virus, health officials said Friday.
According to a Lanarkshire health authority spokesman, it’s “highly unlikely” that the woman would test positive.
The woman, who British media reported is from Sierra Leone,  was being held at the Dungavel House south of Glasgow, which is used to house asylum seekers before they are deported from Britain. The facility has a capacity of up to 200 people.
“We are currently investigating a possible case” of Ebola, the spokesman said.
“This is a precautionary measure and it would appear at this stage to be highly unlikely the patient will test positive for Ebola.”
The Ebola outbreak has so far claimed over 1,100 lives in Sierra Leone, Guinea, Liberia and Nigeria.
The while the World Health Organization said the scale of the epidemic had been vastly underestimated.
