(MENAFN- Saudi Press Agency) The laboratory technician who may have been exposed to Ebola in a mishap last week at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in Atlanta is showing no signs of the disease, the U.S. Ebola coordinator said on Sunday, Reuters reported.
'Only one technician was exposed. So far she's showing no signs of having the disease. She's being monitored every day,' Ron Klain, named by President Barack Obama in October to lead the U.S. response to Ebola, told CBS's 'Face the Nation'.
The unidentified technician may have been exposed last Monday when working with Ebola specimens that were supposed to have been inactivated but which may instead have contained live virus, CDC has said.
