Spanish nurse's Ebola test negative

October 20, 2014 09:28

BBC reports: The Spanish nurse who became the first person to contract Ebola outside West Africa has now tested negative for the virus, the Spanish government says.

The result suggests Teresa Romero, 44, is no longer infected -- although a second test is required before she can be declared free of Ebola.

Romero contracted the virus when treating two infected patients in a Madrid hospital earlier this month. The Ebola outbreak has killed more than 4,500 people across West Africa.
