A spokeswoman for the Carlos III hospital said neither of the doctors, nor the nurse's husband, has shown any symptoms of the deadly virus. 
The two nurses currently in quarantine are awaiting tests to reveal if they have the disease. 
Mrs Romero Ramos is the first person known to have caught the disease outside the outbreak zone in West Africa. 
So far the epidemic, the worst on record since Ebola was discovered in 1976, has claimed 3,800 lives and infected at least 8,000 people.
