Nina Pham, 26, was flown by executive jet from Dallas to Frederick Municipal Airport in Frederick, Md.
From there, she was being transferred to a specialized isolation unit at the National Institutes of Health center in Bethesda, Md.
Officials there have said staff specializing in infectious diseases will care for her.
During testimony to a House panel on Thursday, Dr. Anthony Fauci, the director of the National Institutes of Health National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Disease, said Pham will be given “state of the art care” in a high-level containment facility.
When Pham left Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital in Dallas, officials said she was in good condition.
Pham contracted Ebola after providing care for Thomas Eric Duncan, who died of the virus last week.
A second nurse, Amber Vinson, who cared for Duncan, also contracted Ebola. She has been transferred from Dallas to Atlanta and is receiving care at Emory University Hospital.
At the same time, a Dallas health care worker is on a Caribbean cruise ship and has isolated herself in her room, according to a statement from the U.S. State Department.
The statement confirmed that the unidentified woman handled one of Duncan’s lab specimens but officials say she shows no signs of the virus.
The government is working to return the woman and her husband to the U.S. before the ship docks.
The Belize government issued a statement on Thursday saying the U.S. government made officials aware that a cruise ship passenger was considered at very low risk for Ebola.
