A person with symptoms that ?meet the criteria? for the deadly Ebola virus was transported Wednesday to Manhattan?s Bellevue Hospital Center, a spokesman with the Fire Department of New York said.
?Our EMS units in the field picked up a patient and they met the criteria for fever travel,? the spokesman, who asked not to be identified due to the sensitivity of the matter, said in an interview with Patch.
The person transported had recently traveled abroad, fire officials say, and was showing signs of fever and other symptoms associated with Ebola.
The NYC Department of Health (DOH) said in a statement that the individual ?recently returned from Guinea and is experiencing illness.?
