Скачать или смотреть Doctor exposed to Ebola in Sierra Leone arrives for medical observation

(28 Sep 2014) A US doctor who was exposed to the Ebola virus while volunteering in Sierra Leone was on Sunday admitted for observation at the National Institutes of Health (NIH) near Washington, D.C.
NIH had said previously that out of "an abundance of caution," the physician was being admitted to a special isolation unit.
The doctor was flown to a regional airport in Maryland on Sunday afternoon and walked off the plane wearing a white protective suit.
He stepped into an NIH ambulance, which brought him to the agency's campus in Bethesda, Maryland.
NIH infectious disease chief Dr. Anthony Fauci wouldn't discuss details about the patient but said that in general, an exposure to Ebola doesn't necessarily mean someone will become sick.
Four other American aid workers who were infected with Ebola while volunteering in the West African outbreak have been treated at hospitals in Georgia and Nebraska.
One remains hospitalised while the others have recovered.
