Nina Pham, one of two Dallas nurses who contracted the Ebola virus from Liberian national Thomas Eric Duncan, is now Ebola-free, and will be released from the hospital in Bethesda, Maryland, later today.

The second nurse, Amber Vinson, is still being held at Emory University Hospital in Atlanta, though there were unconfirmed reports that she, too, is free of the virus.
