Hospital officials say 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. 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 Saturday that Romero, 44, was now being attended by hospital staff that no longer needed to wear protective outfits.
