abcnews | The patients, Nancy Writebol and Dr. Kent Brantly, will be transported one by one, sources told ABC News today.
There are plans to transfer one of the patients to Emory University Hospital's special facility containment unit within the next several days, hospital officials said in a statement.
Officials said the patient will arrive in Atlanta sometime next week. Where the other patient will be taken remains unclear.
But the risk to the wider American public remains minimal, Shaffner explained.
"Even if a case were imported into the US -- and here we’re bringing two
people for hospital care -- that actually the risk for Americans is
essentially zero," he said.
