Both Americans who were treated for the Ebola virus have been discharged from the hospital.

"Today is a miraculous day," Dr. Kent Brantly said at a news conference in Atlanta with staff of Emory University Hospital. "I am thrilled to be alive, to be well and to be reunited with my family." The hospital announced he was being discharged Thursday.

The other patient, Nancy Writebol, was released Tuesday, and is choosing not to make public comments, the hospital said.

Only the semen of the man which may still be infectious for the next few months remains a risk.
