MADRID (AP) — A Spanish nursing assistant who recovered from an Ebola virus infection has left the isolation unit where she was being monitored and moved to a normal room, a hospital statement said Saturday.

Teresa Romero tested positive on Oct 6, but was declared cured of the virus 15 days later. She was the first known person to contract the disease outside of West Africa in the latest outbreak.

Madrid's Carlos III hospital said that Romero, 44, was now being attended by hospital staff that no longer needed to wear protective outfits.

1. This is very good news.

I think that we have learned a lot more about this horrible disease. I am seeing a very high cure rate among those who have been dox'd early and have gotten extensive care early. It looks like survival depends on immediate treatment and a day can be the difference between life and death.

PS

I hope she sues over them killing her dog. It was completely unneccesary.
