Lenox Nurse Ebola-Free After 21 Days Following Doctors Without Borders Protocol
ResumeDeborah Wilson worked as a nurse for six weeks in Foya, Liberia, where the Ebola epidemic first broke out.

She rested, took her temperature twice a day and always before leaving the house-- and 21 days later she's out of danger and Ebola-free.
