SPANISH NURSE WHO CONTACT EVD

A Spanish nurse's assistant who caught
Ebola while caring for a patient is to be
discharged Wednesday after 30 days in the
hospital, medical officials said.
Teresa Romero Ramos is now clear of the virus,
Dr. Jose Ramon Arribas told a news conference
in Madrid, flanked by other hospital personnel.
"Everyone can be assured that there is no danger
whatsoever of her being contagious," he said.
Romero has spent the past month at the Carlos
III Hospital in Madrid, the same hospital where
she contracted the illness while helping to care
for an infected missionary who had been brought
back from West Africa.
She chose not to speak at the news conference
for personal reasons, said the hospital's director
general, Dr. Rafael Perez-Santamarina.
