Santa Barbara County patient monitored for Ebola to be treated at Los Angeles hospital


LOS ANGELES (KABC) --
A person who was being monitored by the Santa Barbara County Public Health Department for Ebola was being taken Sunday night to a Los Angeles area hospital as precautionary measure after displaying signs of illness.

"While this is a low risk situation and highly unlikely to be Ebola... a decision was made to take all precautionary measures and transport the patient to the hospital for observation, close monitoring, testing and implementation of full infection control measures," the health department said in a news release.

The patient was part of the county health department's program that monitors people who have returned from countries suffering from an Ebola epidemic. The person was monitored for symptoms multiple times daily for 21 days, or the virus incubation period.

The patient is expected to remain at the hospital until testing was finished. The name of the hospital was not being released.

The public was not at risk of infection, health officials said.

Be prepared! It may be time....^_^v
