The World Health Organization says a second American citizen infected with Ebola in the Democratic Republic of the Congo is being transferred to Germany for medical care. WHO’s chief made the announcement on Monday, following the earlier identification of a U.S. patient in the same outbreak. According to The Hill, the person is a humanitarian worker who was diagnosed with Ebola on Friday and then transferred to Germany. The report says the individual is admitted to Frankfurt University Hospital and arrived there early on Monday.
