Ebola Nurse Boyfriend Admitted to Hospital with Ebola-like Symptoms

The boyfriend of Nina Pham, the nurse who contracted the Ebola virus from a Liberian national, may have been admitted to a hospital.

The unnamed boyfriend has been admitted to a hospital, according to an email that was allegedly sent to Alcon staff by its CEO Jeff George.

Alternative news outlet Got News initially reported that the boyfriend was admitted.

The website said that it received word from two different Alcon employees, both of whom asked not to be identified.One of the now-deleted tweets that the website refers to says that Pham’s parents work at Alcon, as does the boyfriend.

A Twitter user later posted a screenshot of what is allegedly an email from George to Alcon employees confirming that the boyfriend has been quarantined.

“I am writing to make you aware that one of our Fort Worth associates was admitted to Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital,” said George in the email. “He is being monitored for potential signs and symptoms of the Ebola virus.”source
