The North Cypress Medical Center released a statement saying they admitted a patient Monday with an “extremely low-risk” chance of having Ebola.
The man traveled to West Africa, which got doctors attention.
The hospital issued the following statement about the patient:
“North Cypress Medical Center is treating a patient who has not been diagnosed with ebola. He is considered to be of extremely low risk to the ebola virus. Hospital personnel are taking all precautions as prescribed by the Harris County Health Department and the U.S. Center for Disease Control. The patient is in stable condition and is showing no signs of a fever. Admitted earlier today (October 6th), he has been isolated from other patients. We are working closely with local health and CDC officials who will determine all the steps we need to take to ensure the patient’s recovery and the community’s safety.”
A person in Katy was thought to have Ebola over the past weekend but it was discovered that it was malaria.
Additionally, the Houston Health Department conducted two Ebola test on patients but both came back negative.
