(Reuters) – A Norwegian working for Doctors Without Borders in Sierra Leone was infected with Ebola virus and will be brought home for the treatment, the organization said on Monday.
The worker was placed in isolation on Sunday after she developed a fever, the organization said. Tests confirmed she was infected with the virus. She is the first Norwegian victim of the disease.
“We are working to get our colleague back home as soon as possible,” said Anne Cecilie Kaltenborn, a Norwegian representative of the group, which is known by its French initials, MSF.
Once she arrives in Norway, the patient will be isolated and treated in Oslo, MSF said. The organization declined to provide any details, including the patient’s name. The Norwegian news agency NTB identified her as a woman.
