US Photojournalist Is Cured Of Ebola Virus



A photojournalist has been cured of ebola as the United States tightens restrictions on travellers from West African countries.

Ashoka Mukpo, who was working as a freelance cameraman for NBC News in Monrovia, Liberia, when he fell ill, will go home on Wednesday.

In a statement, the 33-year-old American said he was humbled by his recovery.
"Too many are not as fortunate and lucky as I've been. I'm very happy to be alive."
Eight people including Mr Mukpo have or are being treated for ebola in the US; one of whom, a man from Liberia, has died.
