Ebola watch period nears end in Texas

Texas is almost done watching for Ebola in people who had contact with either a Liberian patient or two nurses who were infected while caring for him, officials said Thursday. The final person to be cleared on Friday is a hospital worker who handled medical waste on October 17, said Texas Department of State Health Services commissioner David Lakey. The rest of the 176 being monitored -- none of whom developed Ebola -- included health care workers, household contacts and community members. "We reached this point through teamwork and meticulous monitoring, and we'll continue to be vigilant to protect Texas from Ebola."
