The Spanish authorities began the repatriation process from Sierra Leone of the second citizen of that country found to have Ebola.

The missionary Manuel García Viejo, 69 years old, will be transferred in a medicalized military plane to Madrid. In the capital, he will be admitted to the Carlos III Hospital.

García, diagnosed with Ebola on Friday, has been medical director of the San Juan de Dios de Lunsar Hospital for twelve years.
