Morphine Prince 109,678 Posted October 6, 2014 Share Posted October 6, 2014 The Spanish nurse is the first person in the current outbreak known to have contracted Ebola outside Africa. She was a member of the team that treated Spanish priest Manuel Garcia Viejo, who died of the virus on 25 September. Some 3,400 people have died in the outbreak - mostly in West Africa. The priest died in the hospital Carlos III de Madrid after catching Ebola in Sierra Leone. Another Spanish priest, Miguel Pajares, died in August after contracting the virus in Liberia. The nurse was admitted to hospital on Monday morning with a high fever, Spanish newspaper El Pais said. Doctors isolated the emergency treatment room, the report said. Ebola spreads through contact with the bodily fluids of someone who has the virus and the only way to stop an outbreak is to isolate those who are infected. There have been nearly 7,500 confirmed infections worldwide, with officials saying the figure is likely to be much higher in reality. Guinea, Sierra Leone and Liberia have been hardest hit. Celebrations in West Africa for the Muslim festival of Eid al-Adha are being badly affected by the Ebola outbreak, with many public places deserted this weekend. Earlier health officials said people arriving in the US from Ebola-affected countries in West Africa could be subject to extra screening at airports. But the White House said on Monday it was not considering a ban on travellers from such countries, according to Reuters. It comes as the US tries to limit the spread from its first confirmed case, a Liberian in Dallas. Thomas Duncan's condition is critical but stable, Reuters quoted doctors in the state of Texas as saying on Monday. Source: http://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-29514920 All the other cases before have been people who have been in Africa and were flown in to the US or other countries to be treated. The Dallas man in the US flew from Africa already infected. This nurse got it IN SPAIN from treating this priest who had Ebola. So she is the first to get it NOT from Africa.
