A doctor who had tested positive for Ebola in the first such case on French territory has recovered and left the hospital, France's health minister said on Saturday.
The humanitariandoctor tested positive after flying to France on 23 June from the Democratic Republic of Congo, which is fighting a major outbreak of the deadly disease.
According to Health Minister Stéphanie Rist, "after two negative PCR tests, the patient is now recovered and has been able to return home safely".
The doctor flew to France on an Air France flight and except for headaches was "almost asymptomatic."
Five other passengers on the flight had been identified as possible contacts and put in isolation as a precaution.
