A Spanish nursing assistant who became infected with Ebola is now clear of all traces of the virus.

Four people with fever considered at risk for ebola were being tested in Spain yesterday for the virus, including one who arrived on an Air France jet that was isolated at Madrid’s airport as a precaution, officials said.

Three more people are under observation in a Madrid hospital, boosting the number currently being monitored for Ebola symptoms to 16.

Liberia will soon receive doses of an experimental Ebola drug and give it to two sick doctors, making them the first Africans to receive some of the scarce treatment in a spiralling outbreak.

A toddler known as ‘patient zero’ who died before Christmas is believed to be the first victim who sparked the ebola crisis.
