A second health worker who also treated Liberian Thomas Eric Duncan has tested positive to the Ebola virus. The health worker who reported a case of fever on Tuesday was immediately isolated.
Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital quickly identified all potential exposed contacts and are now all placed under monitoring.
The news comes just days after another nurse, 26 year old Nina Pham, became the first person to be infected with Ebola in the United States. This new case now makes it to a total of two infections so far.
