A U.S. doctor, Peter Stafford, who contracted Ebola while working in the Democratic Republic of Congo, has recovered and is discharged from a hospital in Berlin, Germany, according to the hospital. The German facility says Stafford fell ill in late September after work in the Congo with a missionary group. He receives antiviral treatment during his illness, and the hospital statement also notes that his family is quarantined amid the Ebola outbreak. Both outlets report that Stafford is recovering after infection with Ebola and that he is no longer hospitalized. CBS News describes his work in the Congo as part of a missionary effort and frames the illness as coming after that assignment. Mint (India) adds details from the hospital’s statement about antiviral therapy and quarantine measures involving his family. The reports are consistent that Stafford’s discharge follows medical treatment in Germany and that his recovery is being attributed to the care provided during his Ebola illness.
