Tests show freelance cameraman is free from Ebola, can leave hospital

Freelance cameraman Ashoka Mukpo no longer has the Ebola virus in his bloodstream and will be allowed to leave Nebraska Medical Center, the hospital said yesterday.

Just got my results. 3 consecutive days negative. Ebola free and feeling so blessed. I fought and won, with lots of help. Amazing feeling

The 33-year-old was working for NBC News when he tested positive for Ebola in Liberia. He then spent about two weeks at the hospital in Omaha, Nebraska.

Two infected nurses also got good news. Nina Pham, a nurse in Texas who was caring for Thomas Eric Duncan before he died at a hospital in Texas, has had her heatlh status upgraded from fair to good. 

Teresa Romero Ramos, a nurse in Spain who caught the disease, is also free of the virus.
