Officials from the hospital reportedly tested the man for Ebola because he recently visited Africa.

The patient will be observed for possible infection during the 21-day incubation period of the disease.

Critics have questioned whether the polls can be safe and credible.

The current Ebola outbreak in West Africa has killed more than 6,900 people since the disease emerged in Guinea a year ago.

His death came a day after two other doctors died from Ebola.

Salia was working as a general surgeon at Kissy United Methodist Hospital in the Sierra Leone capital, Freetown, which is not an Ebola treatment unit.

Salia will be the third Ebola patient to be treated in the Nebraska hospital's isolation unit and the 10th treated in the U.S.

Transferring such a patient to one of the specialized units set up to deal with high-risk germs carries a risk that others could be exposed.

The health ministry says about 1,000 members of the association are working in treatment units across the country.

Among the things CDC will investigate is how the workers took off that gear — because removing it incorrectly can lead to a contamination.

Officials say Thomas Duncan's body was cremated but aren't giving further details.

An NBC representative didn't immediately respond to a message late Friday from the AP seeking comment.
