Patient at Pennsylvania hospital cleared of Ebola

The situation came after another case in Nebraska last month


A patient who was being tested for Ebola while at the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia does not have the virus, according to an article on the NBC New website.

The situation came after another case in Nebraska last month, when an American man was monitored for possible exposure to Ebola following a trip to Africa. 

He was released after the required 21-day monitoring period when it was determined he didn't have any symptoms.
