A
second nurse who came into contact with the Liberian American national,
Thomas Duncan, has been diagnosed with the Ebola Virus Disease according
to the Centre for Disease Control.
The
nurse is a member of the Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital team that
treated the Liberian national who died from the virus a few days ago.
“Patient
and employee safety is our greatest priority and we take compliance very
seriously. We have numerous measures in place to provide a safe working
environment, including mandatory annual training and a 24-7 hotline and other
mechanisms that allow for anonymous reporting,” Texas Health Presbyterian said
in a statement, before the news of the second patient emerged.
