AlQa'dah 02, 1435, August 28, 2014, SPA -- The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) said Wednesday that it flew an employee back to the United States from West Africa after the staff member came into contact with an international healthcare worker with Ebola. CDC spokesman Tom Skinner said in a statement that the center followed regulations and flew the employee whose exposure was "low risk" back on a chartered airplane. Skinner said the employee was "feeling fine" despite working in "close proximity," within 0.9 meters, of the infected health worker in the same room for a prolonged period. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), the viral disease spreads through direct contact with bodily fluids of infected people, and through indirect contact with contaminated surfaces. According to the CDC, the employee has not been infected with Ebola and shows no symptoms of the disease.
