The
Ebola virus has spread to Europe. A Spanish priest infected with the
virus in Liberia arrived in Madrid for treatment today. 75 year old
Miguel Pajares (pictured above) had been working as a missionary in
Liberia when he tested positive for Ebola at the San Jose de Monrovia
Hospital in Monrovia. A medically-equipped military jet was sent to
Liberia yesterday to repatriate Pajares.
A Spanish nun named
Paciencia Melgar working in Equatorial Guinea has also tested positive
to Ebola and will also be repatriated to Spain.
The priest and
the nun belonged to a Catholic humanitarian group that runs hospitals
around the world, and had been helping to treat patients infected with
the virus when they were infected.
