The French Ministry of Social Affairs and Health on Wednesday confirmed its first case of Ebola from the outbreak in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC). The patient is reportedly a humanitarian aid doctor who recently returned from a mission to the outbreak region. According to a statement from the health ministry, the doctor “boarded a commercial flight from Kinshasa while virtually asymptomatic, experiencing only headaches.” The doctor’s condition “deteriorated slightly during the flight,” so he was rushed into home quarantine upon arriving in France, and was then transferred securely to a hospital isolation ward where he was said…
