Abstract

In December 2014, Ebola virus disease (EVD) was diag­nosed in a healthcare worker in the United Kingdom after the worker returned from an Ebola treatment center in Si­erra Leone. The worker flew on 2 flights during the early stages of disease. Follow-up of 238 contacts showed no evidence of secondary transmission of Ebola virus.
