The workers underwent monitoring for 21 days at the Nebraska
Medical Center in Omaha after participating in a mission to
Sierra Leone where a colleague tested positive for Ebola.

who had an unrelated cardiac issue while jogging near the
facility over the weekend, has been discharged and would soon
leave the city, the hospital said on its Twitter account.
More than 10,300 people have died in West Africa over the last
year from the worst detected outbreak of Ebola, which has
plagued Guinea, Liberia and Sierra Leone, World Health
Organization figures show.
