FEARS of an Ebola epidemic in Britain were raised today after nearly 60 people who had been in contact with a nurse being treated for the virus for a second time have been identified.
Pauline Cafferkey, 39, was admitted to the Queen Elizabeth University Hospital in Glasgow last Tuesday after feeling unwell.
She was flown by military aircraft to the Royal Free Hospital in London on Friday where she is currently being treated in a specialist isolation unit for "late complications" of the Ebola infection.
Ms Cafferkey, of South Lanarkshire in Scotland, was diagnosed with a life-threatening strain of Ebola in December after returning to Glasgow from Sierra Leone where she was working for Save the Children, via London.

Today NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde confirmed all close contacts of the nurse since she became symptomatic again have now been identified and 40 of the 58 people offered vaccinations as a precaution.
