Well, Ebola is pretty famous for changing hospitals into deathtraps. I guess European safety procedures aren't sufficient to eliminate the risk, and hopefully they're testing every patient and visitor discharged in the last week as well.
I hope to heaven they won't find anyone, but if Africa's MSF (doctors without borders) hospitals are any indication they probably will.

Both times she was wearing protective clothing." http://www.bbc.com/news/health-29518703 http://www.bbc.com/news/health-29518703
