A Spanish priest who was working in the West African nation of Liberia tested positive for the Ebola virus and is being treated in isolation at San Jose Hospital in Monrovia.
According to Fox News Latino, the Ebola virus has already claimed the life of 887 people.
More than 15,000 people have signed an online petition urging the Spanish Foreign Ministry to transport the Spanish religious workers currently in isolation due to ebola back to Spain.
In the petition, it is demanded that the ministry bring the health care workers back to Spain, just as the United States did with two of its citizens who had contracted the virus.
Liberia is one of the countries most heavily affected by the ebola outbreak, and more than 150 people have succumbed to it there since it was first detected in March. EFE
