Protective suits for medics
Print Edition
AMBULANCES and medics in protective suits will be sent to anyone calling Britain’s health emergency helpline with Ebola-like symptoms.
People dialling the 111 phone line, used for non-life-threatening emergencies, will be asked if they have been to west Africa recently and if they show typical signs of having contracted the virus.
No cases of Ebola infection have been reported so far in Britain but authorities expect a handful of cases in the coming months.
Call handlers are asking anyone reporting potential symptoms, such as respiratory problems, high temperatures, or diarrhoea and vomiting, about their recent travel history.
