Ebola in Britain, is it time to panic? An Ebola patient is currently being treated in a London hospital, but although the virus is deadly, the risk of contracting it is very low. Although Ebola has a very high mortality rate and no treatment or vaccine has so far been licensed for it, the virus is less contagious than other more common diseases, and infection-control practices should stop its spread. Public health officials have stressed there is little or no risk to the general public in the UK, even after the arrival in London this weekend of a British medic infected with the virus while treating patients in Sierra Leone.
