All employees and staff at Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital in Dallas who cared for the hospital's Ebola patients, as well as their contacts, have been cleared of risk of developing the disease.
Texas Health Presbyterian has been dealing with Ebola since the first patient was diagnosed with the virus at the hospital Sept. 30. Two of the hospital's employees contracted the virus in October.
"We are grateful that two caregivers who shared the fight against this insidious virus are healthy," Barclay Berdan, CEO of Texas Health Resources, said in a statement. "Those two courageous nurses, and so many others, put the needs of a patient first and valiantly worked to save the life of a man who faced, and ultimately lost, his battle with the disease."
As of Friday, the Ebola outbreak in Dallas officially ended. The state health department and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention cleared individuals who were monitored as at-risk risk of developing the disease.
