 The worker is one of 17 individuals brought back to the United
States from Sierra Leone after being monitored for possible exposure
to the virus. All had contact with an infected co-worker in Sierra
Leone who is being treated for Ebola at the National Institutes of
Health biocontainment facility in Maryland.
The person in Nebraska is one of five who are being housed near the
facility in case they develop symptoms. On Sunday, one individual
became ill and was transferred to the biocontainment unit, but those
symptoms resolved on Monday.
The individual has returned to a housing facility near the medical
center where the four other individuals are being monitored for the
remainder of the 21-day Ebola incubation period.
Officials did not release any details on the healthcare worker.
