An American aid worker infected with the deadly Ebola virus while in Liberia arrived in the United States from West Africa on Saturday and walked into an Atlanta hospital, wearing a bio-hazard suit, for treatment in a special isolation unit.
A chartered medical aircraft carrying Dr. Kent Brantly touched down at
Dobbins Air Reserve Base in Marietta, Georgia, shortly before noon.
Brantly was driven by ambulance, with police escort, to Emory University
Hospital in Atlanta for treatment in a specially equipped room.
Television news footage showed three people in white biohazard suits
step gingerly out of the ambulance. Two of them walked into the
hospital, one seeming to lean on the other for support. A hospital
spokesman confirmed that Brantly walked into the building under his own
power.
