One of the two nurses who acquired Ebola in the U.S. while treating a Liberian man in October, Amber Vinson, was discharged from Emory University Hospital in Atlanta after testing free of the deadly virus.

Standing behind a lectern and wearing a gray suit, 29-year old Vinson was thankful that she recovered from the illness, noting that Ebola "difficult but treatable disease" and encouraged the public "not to lose focus," similar to what United States President Barack Obama wants to instil among Americans.

"While this is a day for celebration and gratitude, I ask that we not lose focus on the thousands of families who continue to labor under the burden of this disease in West Africa," Vinson said in a statement in CNN.

Vinson became infected at Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital in Dallas while treating Thomas Eric Duncan, a Liberian man who was diagnosed with Ebola after arriving in the Texas and died of it on Oct. 8.

Another nurse, Nina Pham, also contracted the disease from Duncan and discharged last Friday from National Institutes of Health in Bethesda, Maryland.

Meanwhile, Vinson's case worried that the virus could spread in the U.S., especially after it was revealed that she flown two commercial flights after treating Duncan.

However, Emory University Hospital's Dr. Bruce Ribner, who learned a lot from treating Ebola patients like prioritizing fluid and electrolyte balance dismissed the rumors, said Vinson "has recovered from her infection with Ebola virus, and she can return to her community and to her life."

President Barack Obama also affirmed that there is no need to prevent the dispatch of health care workers from the U.S. to West Africa.

"We don't want to discourage our health workers from going to the front lines and dealing with this in an effective way. We don't just react based on our fears. We react based on facts"

"The thing that we really have to keep in mind is that the only way that we are truly to be able to make our citizens safe is that we control the outbreak in Africa," said Ribner.

"No other nation is doing as much to make sure we contain Ebola at its source," Ribner added.
