5 people monitored for Ebola in Nebraska remain healthy

OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — All five American aid workers who are being monitored at a Nebraska hospital for Ebola exposure remain healthy.

Nebraska Medical Center spokesman Taylor Wilson said Thursday that one of the workers, who had been transferred to the hospital's biocontainment unit on Sunday, has been released from the isolation unit.

Wilson said that person displayed some symptoms Sunday evening, but the symptoms cleared up Monday and all Ebola tests were negative.

All of the workers were exposed to Ebola in Sierra Leone when one of their colleagues became ill with the deadly virus. They are all staying on the Nebraska Medical Center's campus while they are being monitored.

Their colleague with Ebola is being treated at the National Institutes of Health in Bethesda, Maryland.
