US doctor tests positive

AN American doctor working with Ebola patients in Liberia has tested positive for the deadly virus, an aid organization said.

Samaritan’s Purse issued a news release on Saturday saying Dr Kent Brantly was being treated at a hospital in Monrovia, the capital. Brantly had been serving as medical director for the aid organization’s case management center there.

The highly contagious virus is one of the world’s most deadly. Photos of Brantly working in Liberia show him in white coveralls made of a synthetic material that he wore for hours a day while treating Ebola patients.
