The family of a US doctor who contracted Ebola in the Democratic Republic of Congo will also be admitted to a hospital in Germany, the health ministry said Wednesday without specifying whether they showed symptoms.

“After a US citizen infected with Ebola arrived in Berlin this morning for treatment, US authorities have requested assistance in admitting his family members (wife and three children),” the ministry said, adding that “they will also be taken to the special isolation ward at the Charite hospital in Berlin”.
