Looks like the Ebola Virus is becoming a world health problem as it has spread beyond the African borders. Looks like the first case of contraction outside Africa has taken place and it is being reported that an assistant nurse in a Madrid Hospital where two Ebola patients died has been infected with the deadly virus.
AFP reports that, a spokesman for the health department of the regional government of Madrid told them:
“Two tests were done and the two were positive,”
The woman works at Madrid’s La Paz-Carlos III hospital where two missionaries who were
repatriated from Africa with Ebola died from the disease, a spokeswoman for the hospital said.
“We do not know yet if she treated any of the two missionaries,” the spokeswoman told AFP.
