UK conducts test incase of Ebola outbreak

(NAT SOUND UP FULL: I've just been feeling unwell. I've only recently come back from Sierre Leone)br br This man has Ebola. At least, he's pretending to for the sake of medical preparedness in the UK.br br Actors, medics, emergency service workers and government officials all took part in an eight hour exercise Saturday to test the country's readiness in case this scenario becomes a reality.br br England's Chief Medical Advisor Dame Sally Davies.br br (SOUNDBITE) (English) CHIEF MEDICAL ADVISOR FOR ENGLAND, DAME SALLY DAVIES, SAYING:br br "We've been looking at how people responded immediately, and the government decontamination service has been heavily involved in how you decontaminate not only at the site where there maybe vomit, but also in people's homes. And I think we'll have a standard operating procedure afterwards. We've been looking at local resilience forums, how they work together. Rather well I'm pleased to say.
