Now commercial flights from west africa will be curbed-politicians seem to take action when their asses are possibly on the line.
A patient at Shady Grove Adventist Hospital in Rockville, Maryland does not have Ebola, the hospital said. Another patient, at Howard University Hospital, is still being evaluated. Meanwhile, the U.S. is gearing up to handle any cases that are diagnosed in this country -- and to help other countries fighting the disease.
A patient is being evaluated for Ebola at Howard University Hospital in Washington, D.C., a hospital spokesperson confirmed Friday.
That person has been admitted to the hospital in stable condition and is isolated. The medical team is working with the CDC and other authorities to monitor the patient's condition.
"In an abundance of caution, we have activated the appropriate infection control protocols, including isolating the patient," said hospital spokesperson Kerry-Ann Hamilton in a statement. "Our medical team continues to evaluate and monitor progress in close collaboration with the CDC and the Department of Health."
