After fears that Ebola could have reached Gatwick over the weekend, test results of an elderly woman who died at the airport came back negative for the contagious virus.

The female passenger who travelled to the UK from the Gambia collapsed at Gatwick airport and was later pronounced dead in hospital.

Public Health England says the risk of the deadly Ebola virus in the UK remains very low and that the test was only carried out as a precaution.

Over 700 people have died of Ebola in Guinea, Sierra Leone and Liberia this year in the worst ever outbreak of the disease.
