On 22 September, following the request of the General Practitioner, a patient was transported to the Radboudumc in order to undergo further medical assessment. The patient had visited an area where according to the WHO Ebola virus transmission occurs and developed disease symptoms upon return to the Netherlands. This assessment is not unique. Over the past weeks a few other patients who developed disease symptoms after returning from an Ebola risk area have been assessed. Such patients are examined in an specially equipped isolation room.
