The Texas nurse got the deadly disease when she treated Thomas Eric Duncan, who has since died. Amber Vinson was cleared of the disease last week and will make a public statement today.
Vinson, 29, was admitted to the hospital’s Serious Communicable Disease Unit on Oct. 15 and was declared free of the deadly virus last week.
She is expected to make her first public statement during a national news conference at 1 p.m. E.T., according to the hospital.
Vinson was diagnosed with the virus on Oct. 14. A day later, the Dallas resident was flown by air ambulance to Atlanta for treatment at Emory, which has a specialized unit trained in treating Ebola.
“Amber is steadily regaining her strength and her spirits are high,” her family said in a statement last week. “We appreciate everyone for keeping Amber in your thoughts and prayers.”
