The patient is reported to be doing well at a Frankfurt hospital, continuing a pattern of care abroad

A second American infected with Ebola has been transported to Germany for treatment, according to Ars Technica, continuing a pattern in which U.S. citizens infected with the virus have been sent overseas rather than treated domestically.

The man is said to be doing well at a hospital in Frankfurt, according to the report.

Details on where the patient contracted the virus, the circumstances of his diagnosis, and why U.S. authorities have opted to send infected citizens abroad rather than treat them in the United States were not disclosed.
