MOSCOW, August 25 (RIA Novosti) - The plane carrying the UK citizen, who contracted the Ebola virus in Sierra Leone, landed at a Royal Air Force base in West London, BBC reported early Monday.
A specially equipped Boeing C-17 landed at the RAF Northolt base, to the west of the London Borough of Hillingdon.
The infected medical worker is expected to be taken to Royal Free hospital in Hampstead, northern London for treatment.
A representative of the UK Department of Health said the patient's condition was not critical, and the risk of Ebola virus spreading across Britain remained "extremely low."
The patient is believed to have served as a medical volunteer at an Ebola treatment site in Sierra Leone, which along with Guinea, Liberia and Nigeria, became affected by the worst Ebola outbreak in history. First two Ebola cases were confirmed in the Democratic Republic of Congo on Sunday.
A total of 2,615 Ebola cases and 1,427 deaths have been recorded across West Africa so far, according to the World Health Organization. The actual figures may be higher and not revealed due to the social stigma associated with the disease.
The Ebola virus has a 90 percent mortality rate and is transmitted through direct contact with the blood or bodily fluids of the infected.
No licensed treatment or vaccine against the virus exists yet, although a number of companies in the United States, Japan and Canada have been working on one.
The United States previously delivered three doses of the experimental ZMapp serum to Liberia. According to WHO, there exist 10 to 12 doses of the serum.
