MADRID (AP) – Spain’s government says an assistant nurse infected with the Ebola virus is showing signs of “slight improvement.”
But the statement Sunday says Teresa Romero’s prognosis remains serious and further complications cannot be ruled out.
Another Spanish nurse who had also treated a patient infected with the virus in Africa was released from the hospital Saturday after twice testing negative for Ebola.
That patient, Manuel Garcia Viejo, died of Ebola on Sept. 25. He had been medical director of a Sierra Leone hospital for 12 years.
The statement added that a committee from the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control who visited Madrid’s Carlos III hospital concluded that it was not suitable to meet emergencies such as an Ebola outbreak.
