GALVESTON, Texas, Oct. 20 (UPI) -- The Carnival Cruise ship carrying a Texas healthcare worker employed at the hospital where Liberian national Thomas Eric Duncan succumbed to Ebola has docked in Galveston, Texas, and the healthcare worker has tested negative for the dead virus.
When the health care worker boarded the ship last Sunday, she was not in a risk category that required restriction of movement based on CDC guidelines, Carnival said in an official statement.
