Hospital Worker In US Tested Positive For Ebola

A hospital worker in Texas who treated a patient who died of ebola has tested positive for the disease. The unnamed healthcare worker from the Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital was isolated after reportedly they had a "low grade fever" on Friday, a statement from the Texas Department Of State health Services said. "We knew a second case could be a reality, and we've been preparing for this possibility," Dr David Lakey, the department commissioner, said. "We are broadening our team in Dallas and working with extreme diligence to prevent further spread." The diagnosis came as the US began screening patients entering through John F Kennedy airport in New York.
