MADRID, Spain — Teresa Romero (in wheelchair) arrives with medical workers and her husband Javier Limon to give a press statement before she leaves the Carlos III hospital in Madrid, yesterday. A Spanish nursing assistant who recovered from Ebola has been discharged from a Madrid hospital a month after she was admitted with the virus. She was the first person known to have contracted the disease outside of West Africa in the latest outbreak. Hospital doctors said Romero, 44, received various treatments, including blood plasma from an Ebola survivor, but were unable to say if any had been effective. Romero had treated two Spanish missionaries who died of Ebola in August and September after they were flown back from West Africa. Doctors said she will be able to live a normal life and poses no contamination risk. (PHOTO: AP)
