According to Officials in Spain, a nursing assistant who was infected
with Ebola is now clear of the virus. Teresa Romero's immune system has
eliminated the virus from her body, Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy's
office said Sunday.
"The health status of the patient admitted to Carlos III Hospital has evolved favorably," the office said in a statement. "Also, the 15 people that have stayed at the hospital for having made contact with the patient (nurse) continue to be asymptomatic."

Manuel Cuenca, microbiology director at Madrid's Carlos III health care
complex, told The Associated Press that a second test in the coming
hours is needed to confirm Romero's recovery. Romero, 44, had treated
two patients who died of Ebola at Carlos III hospital. The first, Miguel
Pajares, contracted the disease in Liberia and died Aug. 12 despite
having been treated with the experimental drug ZMapp. The second was
Manuel Garcia Viejo, who died Sept. 25.
