The Netherlands has specialised isolation units at hospitals including Radboudumc, Erasmus MC and Amsterdam UMC. RIVM coordinates the response with regional health services.
The risk to the general public is very low. Ebola does not spread through the air, only through direct contact with body fluids of someone who is ill.
