Ebola patient Dr. Rick Sacra will soon be released from the Nebraska Medical Center.
Sacra, who was being treated in the center's Biocontainment Unit, sat at a table with his wife and Med Center doctors before a Thursday press conference. That simple act revealed what was to come.
"Nebraska 1, Ebola 0," Dr. Jeffrey Gold, UNMC chancellor, said to applause as the press conference began.
The CDC confirmed that two separate blood samples taken from Dr. Sacra 24 hours apart show the virus is no longer in his bloodstream, officials said. He left the Biocontainment Unit on Thursday morning.
