EBOLA USA: Man With Ebola-Like Symptoms Reported At Boston Area Clinic ... Had recently Traveled to Liberia (includes Hospital Press Conference)

Harvard Vanguard Medical Center in Braintree was evacuated on Sunday afternoon as a man with Ebola-like symptoms was isolated outside the clinic.

The clinic confirmed in a statement Sunday afternoon that a patient who had recently traveled to Liberia arrived at Harvard Vanguard complaining of a headache and muscle aches.

“Out of an abundance of caution we immediately notified authorities and the patient was securely removed from the building and put into an ambulance now headed to Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center,” Harvard Vanguard Chief of Infectious Disease Ben Kruskal said.

Beth Israel officials said in a press conference Sunday that they will be doing an assessment of the patient before testing him for Ebola.

“We are taking all necessary precautions in collaboration with the city of Boston and the Department of Public Health for the potential that this is suspected Ebola,” said Dr. Kenneth Sands, chief quality officer at Beth Israel. “In the meantime, we are pulling up protocols that we have prepared for, drilled for, that our staff are aware of.”

The man will be in a special unit designed to keep other patients and staff safe, Sands said.
