A Scottish nurse who got infected with Ebola last year is back in the hospital in “serious condition” due to the virus, British media reported on Friday. The 39-year old nurse, Pauline Cafferkey, was diagnosed with Ebola on Dec. 29 after returning from Sierra Leone, where she had worked as a volunteer with Save the Children. After spending a month in a specialist isolation unit at the Royal Free Hospital in London, she was declared symptom free and returned to Scotland “happy to be alive,” according to the BBC. But on Tuesday this week she was admitted to a hospital in Glasgow after feeling unwell. Early Friday morning U.K. time, Cafferkey was transferred to the Royal Free Hospital in London by a military aircraft and readmitted at the isolation unit. She is thought not to be contagious.
