The afflicted woman, reportedly in her 40s and childless, was not identified to protect her privacy, but nursing union officials she had 14 years' experience.

Spanish officials said

1. she had changed a diaper for the priest and
2. collected material from his room after he died.


Dead Ebola victims are highly infectious, and in West Africa their bodies are collected by workers in hazmat outfits.

The hospital was reported to have had extreme protective measures in place, Branwen Jeffreys reports.

The nurse had twice gone into the room where Mr Garcia Viejo had been treated, to be directly involved in his care and to disinfect the room after his death. Both times she was wearing protective clothing.

Madrid healthcare director Antonia Alemany told reporters that according to the information available: "The nurse went into the room wearing the individual protection gear and there's no knowledge of an accidental exposure to risk."
