Two of four Spanish patients test negative for Ebola

Two of four new patients suspected of being infected with Ebola in Spain have tested negative in a first round of tests, authorities have said.

The government’s Ebola monitoring committee said on its official Twitter account today that the two were a person who arrived on an Air France jet which was isolated at Madrid’s airport yesterday and a person who travelled in the same ambulance used to take infected Spanish nursing assistant Teresa Romero to hospital earlier this month.
