Spanish nurse tests positive for Ebola after treating victim in Madrid
2014-10-06
A nurse who treated two Ebola patients at a Madrid hospital has become infected with the disease herself, health officials said.

“Two tests were done and the two were positive,” a spokesman for the health department of the regional government of Madrid told AFP.

Spain’s Minister of Health, Ana Mato, says the authorities are working to distinguish the source of the disease’s contraction as strict controls were implemented to prevent Ebola’s spread. He added that there is no knowledge of any other cases.

The nurse is in a "stable" condition, according to officials. She reportedly started feeling sick on September 30. The patient whom she had been treating had died on September 25. Missionary Manuel Garcia Viejo had been helping Ebola victims in Sierra Leone.

#1  Apparently there are complaints that the hospital's safety precautions were insufficient for Ebola (Level 2 instead of Level 4.)
