Washington: Amber Vinson, one of the two Dallas nurses who cared for an Ebola-infected Liberian man and then infected with the virus themselves, was released from Emory University Hospital in Atlanta Tuesday after a 10-day stay.

Vinson "has recovered from her infection with Ebola virus, and she can return to her community and to her life" without any risk of transmitting the virus to others, doctor Bruce Ribner, head of the highly contagious disease unit at the hospital, told reporters at a press conference.
