Again, she made a full recovery but was admitted for a third time to the Royal Free Hospital, Britain's only isolation ward for Ebola, due to a further unspecified complication.

The Ebola virus can only be transmitted by direct contact with the blood or bodily fluids of an infected person while they are symptomatic."
