World News Two Dutch doctors feared to have contracted the deadly Ebola virus while working in Sierra Leone are set to be flown back to the Netherlands as soon as possible, the foreign ministry said Saturday. The healthcare workers could be back home by Sunday afternoon if all goes well, spokesman Harald Wychgel from the Dutch Institute for Public Health and the Environment (RIVM) told AFP. The two men are not yet showing any symptoms of the deadly virus, he added. Doctors Nick Zwinkels and Erdi Huizenga, who were working at the Lion Heart Medical Centre in the western town of Yele, came into contact with three people who then died from the Ebola virus, according to foreign ministry spokesman Friso Wijnen.
