(MENAFN - AFP) Spanish doctors identified six more cases of possible infection with the deadly Ebola virus on Thursday as a nurse being treated for the disease showed signs of improvement, officials said.
Among the new suspect cases was a Spanish missionary recently returned from one of the countries worst hit by the outbreak, Liberia, who has shown signs of fever, the government said.
He was due to be hospitalised at the specialist disease unit in Madrid's Carlos III hospital, the government's emergency committee on the Ebola outbreak said in a statement.
Two other people were also admitted to that hospital on Thursday, it added: a person who came close to the infected nurse, and a traveller who arrived in Madrid on an Air France flight from Paris.
Separately, on Tenerife in Spain's Canary Islands, a Red Cross worker who had travelled from another affected country, Sierra Leone, was hospitalised, the organisation said.
Health officials in Tenerife said they had hospitalised the man in isolation when he complained of a fever on Thursday after arriving on the island on October 12 from Sierra Leone via Brussels and Madrid.

hope they don't have it.
