Investigations Are Underway At A Hospital In Madrid After
A Spanish Nurse Became The First Person Known To Have Contracted The Deadly Ebola
Virus Outside West Africa.
The nurse had treated two Spanish missionaries who died of the
disease after being flown home from the region.
Spanish Health Minister Ana Mato confirmed that a nurse who treated two victims of Ebola in Madrid has tested positive of the disease.
The nurse is said to be the first person in the current outbreak known to have contracted Ebola outside Africa.
Officials say the woman was part of the team that treated Spanish priests, Manuel Garcia Viejo and Miguel Pajares, who both died of the virus.
Meanwhile, US President Barack Obama has criticised foreign governments for not acting as aggressively as they should against the outbreak.
He said countries that think that they can sit on the sidelines and just let the United States do it will result in a less effective response and that means that people will die.
