Italian doctor with Ebola 'strong', able to walk

(ANSA) - Rome, November 26 - The Italian doctor who contracted Ebola in Sierra Leone is able to walk on his own and seems "strong and independent," Giuseppe Ippolito of Rome's Spallanzani Institute said Wednesday. The patient is responding well to experimental treatment and poses no threat to the health of the community, the medical centre said. Ippolito said staff are now "evaluating the best therapeutic strategies" for the doctor, who was flown to Rome Tuesday night. He is said to now be in stable condition.
