The Atlanta Journal Constitution reports Amber Joy Vinson arrived in Atlanta at about 8 p.m. and is being transferred to Emory University Hospital.
WSBTV.com in Atlanta shows Vinson, wearing a hazmat suit, walking from the plane to a waiting ambulance at Peachtree DeKalb Airport.
According to the Associated Press, an ambulance with a crew clad in hazardous-material suits arrived at Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital in Dallas and left for Love Field earlier Wednesday. An aerial video showed the crew leading a person in a yellow hazmat suit and booties onto a jet at Love Field.
The executive jet lifted off about 5 p.m. Wednesday on its flight to Atlanta, the AP reports.
Vinson had cared for a now-deceased Ebola patient, Thomas Eric Duncan, in Dallas. She had flown into Cleveland last week and visited family in the Akron area. A day after returning to Dallas, she was diagnosed with Ebola.
Another of Duncan's nurses, Nina Pham, is also being treated for Ebola and was in "improved condition" Wednesday, Dr. Tom Frieden, director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, tells the AP.
