London's Heathrow airport is beginning screening for Ebola of passengers traveling to the UK from at-risk countries.
People who've come from Liberia, Sierra Leone and Guinea will be identified - although there are currently no direct flights to the UK from those countries.
Screening will be extended to Gatwick airport and the Eurostar by the end of the week.
UK officials stress a 'handful' of cases should be expected in the country by the end of the year.
Dr Peter Barlow, infectious diseases expert at Edinburgh Napier University, believes the screening is useful even if the UK is not particularly vulnerable.
