Dr. Martin Salia, a Sierra Leonean surgeon diagnosed with Ebola, arrived at Eppley Airfield in Omaha, Nebraska at 2:45 p.m. local time on Saturday, November 15th, to be treated for the deadly virus. On Sunday, health officials said that Salia is in “extremely critical” condition.

“This is an hour-by-hour situation,” said Dr. Phil Smith, medical director of the Biocontainment Unit at Nebraska Medical Center, in a press release. “But he couldn’t be surrounded by a more caring, compassionate and talented group of people. We will do everything humanly possible to help him fight this disease.”
