A British man suspected of having contracted Ebola has died in Macedonia.
The UK Foreign Office said it was urgently investigating the reports.
A British citizen travelling with the unnamed man said they had not been to any areas affected by the deadly virus, a Macedonian government spokesman said.
It comes as the UK government announced arrivals from Sierra Leone, Guinea and Liberia would face "enhanced screening" at Heathrow, Gatwick and Eurostar terminals.
Downing Street said passengers would be asked questions and potentially given a medical assessment.
Earlier ministers had ruled out screening, saying the UK was following World Health Organisation advice.
