According to the Denver Post, authorities have confirmed that Health Officials in Denver have been investigating a patient who was placed in isolation for suspected Ebola virus today. Reports so far claim that the patient is in fair condition; however, the facility is on temporary lockdown.
Health Officials, while concerned, are saying that Ebola is only being considered as a potential cause for the patien’s illness. They have also stated this as an “unlikely diagnosis.” Emergency crews, however have been photographed by CBS wearing hazmat suits while entering the building earlier this afternoon. Still, officials are saying that they will continue to operate the hospital as per usual, remarking that there is no threat to the public, including hospital staff and other patients.
Connie Price, who is an infectious diseases physician and Chief Medical Officer of Denver Health, spoke to reporters, saying that it is unlikely the investigation will link the virus to Ebola, cites CBS 4 Devner.
