A Texas health care worker who treated US Ebola victim Thomas Duncan before his death has tested positive for the virus, reports GHN based on BBC.
"We knew a second case could be a reality, and we've been preparing for this possibility," said Dr David Lakey, commissioner of the Texas Department of State Health Services.
Duncan, who caught the virus in his native Liberia, died at the Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital in Dallas on Wednesday.
The health worker, who has tested positive in a preliminary test, has not been named.
