Twenty-six-year-old nurse Nina Pham became infected with Ebola while treating Thomas Eric Duncan. Duncan contracted the disease in Africa then came to the United States and died in a Texas Hospital last week. CCTV America’s Jim Spellman reports. 

Pham is in stable condition in an isolation ward in that same hospital. Pham wore full protective gear when she treated Duncan. Authorities aren’t sure how she became infected, but suspect she may have come into contact with the virus while taking off taking off all that gear.

All other health care workers who treated Duncan are now being monitored for signs of infection as are 48 other people who had contact with Duncan

All of those 48 contacts have been monitored daily. None of them have developed fever or other symptoms as of now.

And in Liberia, the epicenter of the Ebola outbreak in West Africa, nurses and medical assistants have threatened to go on strike over hazard pay for working in high risk Ebola wards. They complain of inadequate safety equipment, but so far most health professionals have been coming to work as usual.
