Ministry of Health: Czech Republic will accept US citizen as a precaution after contact with Ebola, there is no risk to the public
Created: 20. 5. 2026 Last updated: 20. 5. 2026
The Czech Republic will today, at the request of the United States of America, take in a US citizen, an American doctor, as a precautionary measure, who came into contact with a person infected with the Ebola virus in Uganda. This is not a confirmed case of the disease. According to available information, the man is not showing any symptoms and will be transported to the Czech Republic for preventive hospitalization and observation.
"The Czech Republic was asked by the United States for assistance and we decided to comply with this request. This is a show of solidarity with our partners and allies. I want to assure the public that there is no danger to the citizens of the Czech Republic. Transport and follow-up care are taking place according to strict international protocols and with maximum security measures," said Health Minister Adam Vojtěch.
The transfer will take place by private plane, not a regular flight, to minimize contact with the surrounding area. Upon arrival at Prague airport, the US citizen will be taken by a specialized team without contact with the public. He will then be transported to the Bulovka University Hospital, which is a specialized facility for highly dangerous infections.
He will be placed in a special isolation room in the hospital and will be under professional supervision during the incubation period, which for Ebola is up to 21 days. Testing will only be carried out if he develops symptoms of the disease.
"Our workplace is equipped technically and personally to care for people with highly dangerous infections. The admitted US citizen will be placed in specialized separate areas, the so-called biobox, which is completely separated from the normal operation of the clinic. If he is asymptomatic, he will not be tested now, but will be monitored in isolation for the necessary period of time," said Hana Roháčová, head of the Clinic of Infectious Diseases at the Bulovka University Hospital.
"The Prague City Emergency Medical Service will ensure transport in a transport isolation vehicle from the airport to the Bulovka University Hospital. This is a scenario that we have been preparing for for a long time and regularly practicing, the last time this happened was a month ago. We will have two two-member crews from our special activities group on site with all the necessary protective equipment and a specially modified ambulance with a filter ventilation unit, thanks to which any pathogens cannot escape from the vehicle into the surroundings. These crews are, among other things, specially trained to intervene with a person suspected of having a highly contagious disease, and will ensure both decontamination upon arrival in cooperation with the Fire and Rescue Service, and safe transport," said Zdeněk Křivánek, Deputy Director in charge of the Prague City Emergency Medical Service.
The Czech Republic was approached, among other things, due to its international reputation in the field of infectious disease medicine, specialized capacities, and long-term cooperation with leading foreign institutions. Additional American health workers were transferred to Germany as a precautionary measure.
Ebola is transmitted through direct contact with bodily fluids of an infected person or animal. Symptoms include fever, severe weakness, muscle aches, vomiting, diarrhea, and in some cases, bleeding. However, in this case, the US citizen has no symptoms and admission to the Czech Republic is purely a precautionary measure.
"Ebola is not transmitted respiratoryly like influenza or Covid, but through direct contact with biological material, such as blood, vomit or stool. The US citizen being admitted will be out of contact with the public throughout the transport and subsequent isolation. There is no risk for Czech citizens," added Matyáš Fošum, Director of the Public Health Protection Department of the Ministry of Health and Deputy Chief Hygienist of the Czech Republic.
