Dallas Nurse Who Tested Positive For Ebola Now Free Of The Virus And Discharged

A nurse infected with Ebola is now free of the virus and will be discharged from hospital, say US health officials.




Nina Pham, 26, is is one of two nurses who contracted the virus while caring for Liberian Thomas
Duncan in Dallas.





The news comes one day after a doctor returning from Guinea tested positive for Ebola in New York City.




Health officials are seeking people who came into contact with Craig Spencer, and three people close to
him have already been put in quarantine.




Ms Pham arrived last week at a specialist hospital in Bethesda, Maryland, after being flown there from Texas Presbyterian Hospital in Dallas.



Mr Duncan died earlier this month and it is still unclear how Ms Pham contracted the virus while wearing protective clothing as she treated him.
