#Ebola Spanish Nurse Became The First To Contracts Ebola Outside Africa

A Spanish nurse has become the first suspected person to have contracted the Ebola virus outside of western Africa.

The female medic was part of the team that treated a 69-year-old Spanish priest called Manuel Garcia Viejo, who died from the disease on 25 September.

The priest had been working as a missionary in Sierra Leone when he contracted Ebola and had been flown back to his home country for specialist treatment.
