Dallas Ebola Updates: Nurse’s Condition Upgraded to “Good,” Duncan’s Contacts All Symptom-Free
News from Dallas is looking a lot better tonight; the nurse who tested positive for Ebola is improving.
The condition of Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital nurse Nina Pham has been upgraded. She is now said to be in good condition, after being reported in stable condition on Monday. Pham is being treated for an Ebola infection.
And CDC director Tom Frieden announced today that all 48 people who were identified as close contacts of Thomas Eric Duncan have now cleared the “high risk period” without showing any symptoms of the disease.
The 48 original contacts of #Ebola index patient have passed high risk period & remain symptom-free. We monitor for 21 days but are hopeful.
