French worker for medical charity MSF contracts Ebola in Liberia


    PARIS (Reuters) - A French volunteer working for Medecins Sans Frontieres in Liberia has contracted the Ebola virus, the medical charity said in a statement on Wednesday.

    The volunteer, the first French national to catch the disease in the current outbreak, was put in quarantine on Sept. 16 when the first symptoms of the illness appeared.

    She will be evacuated to a specialised treatment centre in France.
