Abstract

The article presents the author's insights on the risk of the viral haemorrhagic fever (VHF) transmission in a laboratory in Great Britain. Topics discussed include the growth of the suspected cases of Ebola virus disease (EVD) in travellers who return to Great Britain, the confirmation regarding the import of the cases of VHF to the country since 1971, and the report regarding the laboratory-acquired cases of EVD.
