OMAHA, Neb. (AP) - The third American aid worker who contracted Ebola in Africa has been released from a Nebraska hospital.
Dr. Rick Sacra said he has been released from the Nebraska Medical Center at Thursday's news conference.
The 51-year-old from Worcester, Massachusetts, began improving shortly after he arrived in Omaha on Sept. 5. He contracted Ebola while working at a hospital in Liberia.
Two other American doctors who contracted Ebola were treated at Emory University Hospital in Atlanta, and released after recovering. A fourth American with Ebola is still being treated in Atlanta.
