UK Ebola Patient Released from Hospital, Free of Virus

JUSTIN TALLIS/AFP/Getty Images(LONDON) — The Ebola patient admitted to a London hospital in December was discharged on Saturday and is now virus-free.

Pauline Cafferkey, a Scottish nurse, had returned from Sierra Leone to the United Kingdom on Dec. 28, 2014, where she had been treating Ebola patients. According to a statement released by the hospital, Cafferkey said she still didn’t feel 100 percent. “I feel quite weak, but I’m looking forward to going home,” she added.

Cafferkey had been admitted to the hospital on Dec. 30, 2014. Earlier this month, there was concern after the hospital had said that her condition had “gradually deteriorated.”
