Ebola: UK to begin 'enhanced screening' from affected countries
The UK is to begin enhanced screening of passengers
from Ebola-affected countries at Heathrow, Gatwick and Eurostar
terminals, Downing Street has announced.
The move comes as a Macedonian government official claims a British man has died from the disease in the eastern European country.
Earlier, a top US medical official warned that the epidemic could be the "next Aids" if not contained quickly, while the chief of the World Bank said the future of the African continent could be at stake if the spread is not halted.
It comes after the World Health Organisation reported that the recorded number of deaths from Ebola has almost reached 4,000 worldwide and warned the real number could be more.
