A Liberian woman who was hospitalized Friday in Milwaukie over fears she has Ebola does not have the disease, health care officials said on Sunday.

"Based on test results and an evaluation of her clinical condition, I'm pleased to say there are no cases of Ebola in Oregon," Dr. Paul Lewis, the tri-county health officer, said in a news release from Providence Health & Services. "The CDC has advised us that no further testing is required."

The woman had been monitored at Providence Milwaukie Hospital and will continue to be treated there in a separate unit.

Providence said that for now physicians, nurses and other caregivers will continue to follow infectious disease and safety protocols.

A woman in the patient's host family in Portland told The Oregonian that the woman is fine. "She's doing well. I just talked to her today."

She said the family does not know when the patient will be released. She was taken to Milwaukie Providence Hospital on Friday with a fever after arriving in Portland on Tuesday night from Liberia.

The young woman is planning to live in Portland, the host family said.

They asked not to be identified over fears that their children will be stigmatized.

The family had been self quarantined in their Portland home since Friday after the woman, who has not been identified, was whisked to the hospital. Like the woman, they started taking their temperatures twice a day and reporting to county health officials as a precaution.

The family member said they will no longer have to report to the county or stay in their home following the negative test.

"This is good news for our patient, her family and her friends," said Dave Underriner, chief executive for Providence in Oregon. "We were ready, and it showed.
