Disease

Ebola Spreads to Spain

A Spanish nurse tending to an Ebola victim in a hospital in Madrid has tested positive for the virus. The case is suspected to be the first transmission of the disease outside of West Africa.

Spain Health Minister Ana Mato confirmed on Monday that the Spanish nurse, whose name was not disclosed, was part of the team that took care of Spanish priest Manuel Garcia Viejo. The 69-year-old priest died on Sept. 27 because of highly advanced symptoms of the disease.
