Enviado
 
Airport staff tonight told of their fears of an Ebola outbreak after a passenger from Sierra Leone collapsed and died as she got off a plane at Gatwick. Workers said they were terrified the virus could spread globally through the busy international hub from the West African country which is in the grip of the deadly epidemic. The woman, said to be 72, became ill on the gangway after she left a Gambia Bird jet with 128 passengers on board. She died in hospital on Saturday. (www.mirror.co.uk) Más...

The woman did not have this disease, but may well have had a related one. In any case, for the cultures to return would take at least 72 hrs - maybe more.
