U.S. doctor infected with Ebola is improving after 24 hours in Atlanta hospital

The U.S. doctor and Father-of-two

Dr. Kent Brantly, who was infected with the dreaded Ebola virus, landed in Marietta, Georgia, just outside Atlanta, on Saturday morning, from Liberia in West Africa. According to statement from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the man’s condition is stable and improving. It is also believed that the man had not infected his wife and children, who were with him in Liberia, as
the virus cannot be infectious when the career is still healthy or not sick.

A second patient, aid worker, Nancy Writebol, is set to arrive Tuesday. Both victims will be treated in a super-high containment facility at Atlanta's Emory University Hospital near the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)

Brantly was transferred amid high

security to Emory University Hospital in Atlanta, which is fitted out with one of the most sophisticated containment facilities in America. He was pictured being helped out of a special ambulance in a hazmat suit and walking into the hospital.

U.S. officials are confident that Brantly and Nancy Writebol, who is expected to arrive in Atlanta on Tuesday- can be treated without putting the public in any danger.

The specialized unit at Emory University Hospital where the two will be contained was opened a dozen years ago to care for federal health workers exposed to some of the world's most dangerous germs.

Brantly was able to meet with his wife, Amber, in protective conditions for 45 minutes after arriving in the country on Saturday, NBC reported.

She said he was in 'great spirits and extremely grateful' to be home according to a statement released on her behalf by the Christian charity Samaritan's Purse.

Brantly was in West Africa with the missionary group responding to the Ebola outbreak when he was diagnosed last week.

His wife and children returned to the United States before Dr Brantly showed any signs of illness.

Samaritan's Purse has evacuated all of its non-essential personnel for the Ebola outbreak.

Meanwhile on Thursday, U.S. health officials warned Americans not to travel to the three West African countries hit by an outbreak of Ebola.
