 The UN worker, whose name and nationality have not been disclosed,
was transported to France aboard a specially equipped jet and placed
in isolation at the Begin military hospital in the eastern Paris
suburb of Saint-Mandé, the statement said.
The UN worker is the second Ebola sufferer to have received
treatment in France since the start of the epidemic ravaging West
Africa. A French nurse repatriated in September has since made a
full recovery from the virus, which has killed almost 5,000 people.
The worker is being treated at the request of the World Health
Organization, the ministry said, adding that there were currently no
other confirmed Ebola cases in France.
