positive to Ebola was part of the team treating Thomas Eric Duncan and
is said to have come into direct contact with Thomas Duncan, on at
least one occasion.
The health worker was placed in isolation at the hospital after
complaining of fever on Friday. The new infection is the first
recorded case of Ebola transmission within the United States' borders
and highlights the highly infectious nature of the virus which has
resulted in the deaths of more than 200 health workers in West Africa.
Texas health authorities are still monitoring over 50 people who came
into varying degrees of contact with Thomas Duncan, including his
family.
