2d nurse who contracted Ebola will be released today

ATLANTA (AP) — An Emory University Hospital spokeswoman says a Dallas nurse who was being treated for Ebola will be released today.

Emory spokeswoman Holly Korschun told The Associated Press that Amber Vinson will leave the hospital after a 1 p.m. news conference to make a statement after tests showed she's virus-free.

Vinson's family announced Oct. 22 that doctors could no longer detect the virus in Vinson's body.

Vinson was one of two nurses who became infected while caring for Duncan. Vinson traveled to Ohio just prior to showing signs of the virus.

The other nurse, Nina Pham, was released Oct. 24 from a hospital attached to the National Institutes of Health.
