Thursday 21 August 2014 16.37 Two patients receiving treatment for the deadly Ebola virus have been discharged from Emory University Hospital in Atlanta.
Kent Brantly, a US doctor who fell ill with the Ebola virus while working in Liberia, has covered and will be discharged from hospital today.
Mr Brantly, 33, is scheduled to speak to the media along with doctors at Emory University Hospital following his release, the hospital said in a statement.
The president of the Christian missionary group for which Mr Brantly worked in Liberia, Samaritan's Purse, hailed the doctor's "courageous spirit" as he battled the virus that has killed 1,350 people in west Africa since March.
US aid worker Nancy Writebol has also been discharged from Emory University Hospital where she was receiving treatment for Ebola.
Ms Writebol tested clear of the virus and is said to be with her husband at an undisclosed location.
Meanwhile, South Africa has issued a ban on non-citizens travelling from three west African countries worst affected by Ebola.
A health ministry statement declared "a total travel ban for all non-citizens travelling from these high risk countries," referring to Guinea, Liberia and Sierra Leone.
South Africans returning home from these areas will undergo strict screening, it added.
Authorities also barred non-essential travel to the three countries.
South Africa has so far been Ebola-free despite two scares in as many weeks: a South African man returning from Liberia and a Guinean woman.
Both tested negative.
Johannesburg is a major hub for air travel between southern Africa and the rest of the continent.
