Ebola returning workers scheme: public health advice
Advice on the risk classification of workers returning from an Ebola-affected area and public health advice for returning workers.
The UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA) Returning Workers Scheme (RWS) was established in November 2014 as part of arrangements to protect and monitor the health of those who travel to Ebola-affected areas for their work. This scheme now forms part of the UK arrangements to support and monitor the health of those who travel to high-consequence infectious-disease-affected areas for their work, once they are back in the UK.
The guidance below provides information on the classification of individuals returning to the UK after working in an Ebola-affected area, and public health advice for these individuals to minimise the risk of Ebola transmission in the UK.
More information about the RWS is available online.
