2nd Dallas Nurse Released After Beating Ebola Infection; Obama to Meet with Medical Workers 
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


 
In his first comments on new state quarantine rules, President Obama
said medical workers traveling to West Africa deserve support.

President Obama: "We can make sure that when they come back, they are
being monitored in a prudent fashion. But we want to make sure that we
understand that they are doing God's work over there, and they're doing
that to keep us safe. And I want to make sure that every policy we put
in place is supportive of their efforts, because if they are successful,
then we're not going to have to worry about Ebola here at home."

Also Tuesday, the second nurse who contracted Ebola at a Dallas hospital
earlier this month has been released from hospital. Amber Vinson had
been declared virus-free on Friday after being hospitalized two weeks
ago. Obama will meet with Ebola medical workers at the White House
today.
