DENVER — The Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment announced Monday evening that a patient at Denver Health tested negative for the Ebola virus.
The patient was transported in a specialized ambulance to Denver Health Sunday night. The person had fever overnight and a history of travel to an Ebola-affected country that called for additional evaluation, health officials say.
The test for Ebola came back negative Monday night.
On Tuesday evening, Fort Hood officials in Texas said a second, conclusive test came back negative on a soldier found dead on the doorstep of his off-base residence. The soldier, who returned to the USA earlier this month after being deployed to help fight the Ebola outbreak, died from unknown causes, said Col. Steve Warren, a Pentagon spokesman. Further medical tests are being conducted to determine why he died.
