 Sturgeon told BBC radio there was a "low probability" the second
worker had the disease.
"Although this is another returning healthcare worker from West
Africa, the patient here has had no, as far as we're aware, direct
contact with people infected with Ebola," said Sturgeon.
"This patient over the course of today will be transferred for
tests."
