Ebola false alarm sounds at Schiphol

The arrival of a freighter plane at Schiphol airport on Sunday afternoon caused alarm bells to ring as it was thought that there might be an Ebola patient on board. One of the crew members suddenly became ill underway. The aircraft of company Etihad Cargo from the United Arab Emirates landed in Schiphol to be welcomed by the well-practiced Ebola infection examination routine of Schiphol medical staff. The sick person was contained and immediately tested by doctors, who quickly determined that there was no Ebola scare after all.
