Global Concern Growing Over Ebola Virus

Concern is mounting across the world as the killer Ebola virus is spreading to other continents after claiming almost 4,000 lives in West Africa. More people across the globe are being diagnosed with the deadly Ebola infection, including two cases in the US, one in Spain, and a recent finding in Australia.A 50-year-old nurse in Australia has become the latest victim of the virus after she developed symptoms following a visit to Sierra Leone. Meanwhile in Europe, Germany admitted a third Ebola patient, a Sudanese doctor, for treatment after taking care of two World Health Organization (WHO) employees who were infected with the disease. In Spain, a nurse indentified as Teresa Romero by Spanish media fell ill earlier this week after caring for two elderly missionaries who lost their lives because of the fatal virus upon their return from West Africa. Authorities in the United States have began screening people at airports over the spillover of the virus.
