New York:
An American cameraman helping to cover the Ebola outbreak in Liberia for NBC News has tested positive for the virus and will be flown back to the United States for treatment.
NBC News President Deborah Turness said on Thursday, the rest of the NBC News crew including medical correspondent Dr. Nancy Snyderman will be flown back to the U.S. and placed in quarantine for 21 days "in an abundance of caution."
The cameraman has been working in Liberia for three years and covering the Ebola epidemic. He began shooting for the network since Tuesday.
He began feeling tired and achy on Wednesday and discovered he had a slight fever. He went to a treatment center on Thursday to be tested.
Ms Turness says, none of the other NBC employees has shown any symptoms or warning signs of Ebola infection.
