American Ebola Patients to Be Released Today

It looks like Nancy Writebol and Dr. Kent Brantly are two of the lucky ones. The American Ebola patients, who contracted the virus in Liberia, will be released from Emory University Hospital today after weeks of treatment, ABC News reports. NBC News, however, says Writebol may only be released from the hospital's isolation unit and not the hospital itself. A blood test from Brantly showed no sign of the virus, CNN notes, adding two blood tests over two days must come back negative in order for a patient to be cleared. Brantly is expected to speak at a press conference this morning. (More Ebola stories.)
