British Army Barracks in Germany Briefly Closed After Ebola Scare

The British Army barracks at Bergen-Hohne in Germany was closed for three hours earlier today after a soldier displayed fever-like symptoms.
  
A number of personnel have recently returned from Sierra Leone, where they've been helping in the effort to tackle the Ebola outbreak in West Africa.
 
Forces TV's Kate Gerbeau spoke to Rose Gallagher from the Royal College of Nursing, a specialist in Infection Control for those who've just returned from Sierra Leone or who may have come in contact with people who have.
 
She asked her which symptoms might be related to Ebola, and which would definitely not be.
