After a nurse in Madrid was infected with Ebola virus, the first outside Africa to contract the disease, three more people were hospitalized in Madrid on Tuesday for observation, health officials said.


Apart from the infected 40-year-old woman, doctors from La Paz-Carlos III hospital told a news conference that three other "suspect cases" had been admitted, including her husband who is considered at "high risk", a second nurse and a man recently returned from abroad.
