Ashoka Mukpo's bloodstream shows no Ebola virus again, can leave Nebraska hospital

Freelance cameraman Ashoka Mukpo who contracted Ebola while working in Liberia will be discharge from Nebraska Medical Center. His bloodstream shows no Ebola virus again, the hospital said Tuesday.

"Just got my results," Mukpo tweeted. "3 consecutive days negative. Ebola free and feeling so blessed. I fought and won, with lots of help. Amazing feeling."

The 33-year-old was working for NBC News when he tested positive for Ebola in Liberia. Mukpo was among a team working with Dr. Nancy Snyderman, the network's chief medical correspondent.
Mukpo spent about two weeks at the hospital in Omaha, Nebraska. The hospital said he can head back home to Rhode Island on Wednesday.

"Recovering from Ebola is a truly humbling feeling," the hospital quoted Mukpo as saying. "Too many are not as fortunate and lucky as I've been. I'm very happy to be alive."

Two nurses undergoing treatment for the virus also got good news on Tuesday.
