Passengers arriving at Heathrow airport from Ebola-affected countries have been screened by health officials for symptoms of the virus.

The Department of Health said “the first few” passengers were checked at Terminal 1 on Tuesday morning.

Screening will be extended to Heathrow’s other terminals by the end of the week, and rolled out to Gatwick airport and Eurostar next week.

The measure is set to cost £9m over the next six months.
