Friday marks the official end of the Ebola outbreak in Dallas, Texas, as the monitoring period for those who came into contact with the deadly virus expires, The Dallas Morning News reported.
The final person to be monitored for the disease is a hospital worker who handled infectious medical waste on Oct. 17.
Twenty-six others were released from monitoring Wednesday and were pronounced healthy.
"We feel very comfortable that everyone who could have been exposed to Ebola has been monitored and found to be asymptomatic. No one is under investigation now," said Dr. David Lakey, commissioner of the Texas Department of State Health Services.
The city's Ebola crisis began when Liberian national Thomas Eric Duncan was diagnosed with the virus on Sept. 30. He died on Oct. 8.
Two nurses who cared for Duncan — Nina Pham and Amber Vinson — later contracted the virus, but made a full recovery.
In total, 177 people have been monitored for the disease in the Dallas area since Duncan's diagnosis.
"Thanksgiving comes early to Dallas County because … we are Ebola-free," Dallas County Judge Clay Jenkins said: "On behalf of everyone in the local government, thank you citizens of Dallas County and particularly the faith, medical, and philanthropic community for your tremendous support during a critical time."
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) ordered $2.7 million in personal protective equipment (PPE) to help U.S. hospitals treating Ebola patients.
There will be 50 PPE kits with products from the Strategic National Stockpile. Each kit can provide the PPE needed by medical teams to care for one Ebola patient for up to five days, according to a CDC press release issued Friday.
