A British military healthcare worker who tested positive for Ebola is being flown to the UK for treatment.

Two of her colleagues are also being flown back as a precaution in case the infection has been passed on through close contact. They have not been diagnosed with Ebola.

A further two colleagues are being assessed in Sierra Leone, and may be flown back in the future.

Public Health England said there was no threat to the general public.
