Now acknowledged that contaminated surgeries would likely need to be closed - PHE will advise, thanks for response(s) here. Wikipedia now modified (not by me) to reflect uncertainty, backdated by them to 14th September, just a few days before my 17th. They attribute to Liberia, but over that time Sierra Leone figures wildly different from the 5 cases per hour suggested on TV. Who knows which if either is anywhere close? In my view exercises held today, and Sally Davies honesty that we may well have spill over cases here to be commended.
