A happy reunion in Dallas. An Ebola patient in France. And a condition upgrade in New York.
Here are the latest developments in the Ebola outbreak:
U.S. DEVELOPMENTS
Nurse reunited with her pet
Amidst loving squeezes and oohs and aahs (from her), and slobbery kisses and a wagging tail (from him), Dallas nurse Nina Pham
was reunited Saturday with her beloved King Charles spaniel, Bentley.
The pet had been sent into quarantine when Pham contracted Ebola after
caring for Thomas Eric Duncan, the first patient diagnosed in the United
States.
DEVELOPMENTS IN OTHER COUNTRIES
France admits Ebola patient
France is treating an
Ebola patient who contracted the virus while working for the United
Nations in Sierra Leone, the French health ministry said Sunday. The
patient is now in high-security isolation at an army teaching hospital
in Saint-Mande near Paris.
Patient in Spain moved out of isolation
Teresa Romero Ramos, the
Spanish nurse's aide who contracted Ebola while caring for a patient
with the deadly disease, has been moved out of isolation at Madrid's
Hospital Carlos III. Authorities announced October 19
that tests showed that Romero no longer had Ebola. Still, she stayed in
the hospital as her medical team conducted further tests for traces of
the Ebola virus in any of her bodily fluids. Doctors have said Romero
can go home once she's as healthy as she was before she got Ebola.
Canada suspends visa applications
Canada will stop
processing visa applications from foreign nationals who have visited the
three most affected countries. The action is similar to one taken by Australia several days ago.
