Nurse diagnosed with Ebola in Madrid in first case of infection outside Africa

The government is taking action to keep doctors and staff safe at Hospital Carlos III, and is investigating how the woman became infected, Health Minister Ana Matosaid at a news conference in Madrid. The hospital was designated by the government to treat Ebola cases, and the nurse treated Manuel Garcia, a priest who died of Ebola last month, Kazinform refers to Bloomberg. "All measures have been taken to give the best care to the patient, and guarantee the safety of all citizens," Mato said. "We are working to know what the source of the infection was." The patient's husband is being monitored, and officials are compiling a list of everyone who had contact with the woman, officials said. Thirty medical workers are being monitored, they said. The diagnosis adds a new dimension to the Ebola outbreak, which has killed more than 3,400 people, mostly in Guinea, Sierra Leone and Liberia. A Liberian man is hospitalized with the virus in Dallas after traveling there from the Liberian capital Monrovia, the first time the virus has been inadvertently carried out of Africa in the almost 40 years since it was discovered.
