Sad News: Third American doctor contracts Ebola while working in Liberia

An American male doctor has contracted the Ebola virus while working at a hospital in Liberia, it was confirmed today as the CDC warned that the deadly disease was spiraling out of control.

The unnamed doctor had been treating women in the obstetrics ward of a hospital in the Liberian capital, his charity Serving In Mission said on Tuesday. 

The group doesn't know how the doctor contracted Ebola since the ward is separate from the zone where Ebola patients are being treated.

The doctor did not work in an Ebola ward. The group did not specify how he contracted Ebola, but it can be spread through vaginal fluids.

Dr. Rick Sacra identified as third American infected with Ebola
