Infected Dallas Nurse, Amber Vinson Cured Of Ebola Virus

Officials at Emory University Hospital and the Centres for Disease Control and Prevention could no longer detect Ebola in Amber Vinson - a Texas nurse who flew to Ohio and back before she was diagnosed with the virus, Her family said in a statement released through a media consultant on Wednesday. Vinson's mother,Debra Berry, has spoken to her, and she has been approved for transfer from isolation, the statement said.
'We all know that further treatment will be necessary as Amber continues to regain strength, but these latest developments have truly answered prayers and bring our family one step closer to reuniting with her at home,' Berry said.

Vinson, 29, remains in treatment at Emory, near Atlanta. Emory wouldn't release any information about the patient, hospital spokeswoman Holly Korschun said. Unlike other American Ebola patients, like recently cured journalist Ashoka Mukpo, Vinson's caregivers do not appear to be releasing information about her course of treatment.
