A Texas health care worker who treated US Ebola victim Thomas Duncan before his death has tested positive for the virus, officials say.
“We knew a second case could be a reality, and we’ve been preparing for this possibility,” said Dr David Lakey, commissioner of the Texas Department of State Health Services.
Duncan, who caught the virus in his native Liberia, died at a Dallas hospital on Wednesday.
The health worker has not been named.
Duncan tested positive in Dallas on September 30, 10 days after arriving on a flight from Monrovia
via Brussels.
He became ill a few days after arriving in the US, but after going to hospital and telling medical staff he had been in Liberia, he was sent home
with antibiotics.
He was later put into an isolation unit at http://www.emekaasonye.blogspot.com
