Ebola monitoring rises as Spain tries to contain health crisis
MADRID - Three more people have been hospitalized in Madrid, bringing to 16 the number of people under observation after a Spanish nurse came down with Ebola.
None of the 16 has been diagnosed with Ebola so far, but the Spanish government is under fire for its handling both of her case and the threat of a wider outbreak of the deadly disease.
The nurse, 44-year-old Teresa Romero, remains in serious condition after taking a turn for the worse two days ago. She was diagnosed with Ebola after caring for two priests who had contracted the disease in Africa and were then repatriated to Spain. Both men died, one in August and one in September.
