A US doctor who was infected with the Ebola virus in the Democratic Republic of Congo is to be transferred to Germany for treatment, according to the CDC.
A US citizen infected with the Ebola virus is to be treated in Germany, according to the Center for Disease Control (CDC), a US health authority.
The man is a doctor who had been working in the Democratic Republic of Congo when he tested positive for the deadly virus over the weekend.
Because of the shorter flight times from the Democratic Republic of Congo, and the experience of some German hospitals with caring for Ebola patients, the infected doctor - as well as six known contact persons - is set to be transferred to Germany.
The German Health Ministry confirmed to AFP on Tuesday that it was preparing to admit and treat a US citizen who contracted Ebola in the Democratic Republic of Congo.
