UPDATE: Second Possible Sacramento Ebola Patient Tested Tests Negative

SACRAMENTO (CBS13) - Another Sacramento patient tested for Ebola has tested negative for the potentially deadly disease. This time it's at the the Kaiser Permanente South Medical Center.

The patient was discharged from the Kaiser Permanente facility, a spokesman for the health group said on Friday afternoon.

Considered low-risk, the patient was admitted to the hospital Wednesday evening and was being tested in the Ebola Special Care Unit to rule out the disease, according to a statement from Kaiser Permanente on Friday.

Kaiser is one of several California hospitals where strict precautions are underway.

"The nurses have indicated to us that the patient was immediately isolated and they are following Cal-OSHA protocols," said California Nurses Association spokeswoman Bonnie Castillo.

When the first Ebola patient was admitted to a Dallas hospital last year, nurses wore protective gear that exposed parts of the body. One of the nurses was infected with Ebola. After staging a two-day strike in November, California nurses became the only nurses nationwide required to follow stricter guidelines to prevent Ebola exposure.

Those guidelines require nurses to cover head-to-toe in fluid resistant suits. They must also wear air-purifying respirators with hoods to cover the face, neck and torso. They also have to complete in-person training teaching them how to put on and take off the gear.

Health officials announced Friday that another patient investigated for the Ebola tested negative for the virus.
