Daily Mail: Second healthcare worker tests positive for Ebola in Texas
Excerpt...

A second healthcare worker at Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital has tested positive for Ebola. The worker was one of 76 medical staff who cared for Thomas Eric Duncan in Dallas, the first person to die from the deadly virus on U.S. soil. The unnamed member of staff reported to Texas Presbyterian with a fever on Tuesday and was immediately isolated at the hospital.

Health officials have interviewed the latest patient to identify any contacts or potential exposures and have said that those people will be monitored. Some 125 people are being monitored - 11 with definite exposure, 114 with possible exposure.

The CDC said in a statement today: 'An additional health care worker testing positive for Ebola is a serious concern, and the CDC has already taken active steps to minimize the risk to health care workers and the patient.
