The PHE said the person, who suffered a needle-stick injury when treating a person diagnosed with Ebola in Sierra Leone, was transferred by a Royal Air Force flight Saturday, Xinhua reported.
The PHE said the individual has been admitted in the Royal Free Hospital in London for clinical assessment. The person will be monitored for the remainder of the 21-day incubation period.
