today the county's top administrator here in dallas said that amber vincent did nothing wrong. >> that was a mistake, and that caused her problems, it caused panic in our community, it caused people to miss school, it caused a lot of overreaction. it was a mistake and we apologize. >> over the weekend the hospital took out a full-page ad in the dallas morning newspaper apologizing for mistakes that were made during what the hospital called a difficult challenge. the dallas county administrator says a quick response team is now being formed to respond to any future ebola cases and to give this hospital a breather, they are saying that any future cases that show up in this part of the world will be moved to other hospitals. but again, in the case of amber vincent, the hospital, the county administrator, the cdc, they're taking the responsibility for giving her the go-ahead to make that trip from dallas to cleveland to work up some of her wedding plans, and that's what has created kind of a furor here in dallas and around the country because she was allowed to go. >> no question about tha

now, she has been identified tonight as amber vincent. now, the cdc is warning that an additional 75 workers at the same hospital may have been infected. in addition, the u.n. official that is heading the mission for ebola emergency response is now warning that the world has 60 days to beat ebola or disaster looms. take a look. >> ebola got a head start on us. it is far ahead of us. it is running faster than us. and it is -- if we do not reach these targets within 60 days and the numbers spike, many more people will die. we either stop ebola now or we face an entirely unprecedented situation for which we do not have a plan. the penalty for failure is inconceivable and unacceptable. >> here with the very latest on the fight against ebola is fox's own jonathan siri sanding by tonight in atlanta. jonathan. >> sean, amber vincent, that second dallas health care worker who became ill with ebola will be transported to emory university hospital here in atlanta. there she's going to be treated in the same isolation unit that successfully treated
