Scotland's First Minister Nicola Sturgeon wished her well on Twitter:

Cafferkey spent almost a month in isolation at the Royal Free Hospital in London after returning from Sierra Leone in Dec. 2014. She was later discharged and declared out of danger after apparently making a full recovery.

In October last year she was readmitted to the same London hospital.

Experts were astonished to find that the virus had lurked in her brain or spinal cord undetected and then attacked again, causing meningitis.

She returned to the hospital for a third time in Feb. 2016 due to further complications related to the virus.
