The Kaiser Permanente South Sacramento Medical Center in California may be the center of attention soon if a patient currently treated is sick with the deadly Ebola virus.
The patient is being kept in an isolated negative pressure room while specialists work to confirm or rule out an Ebola infection. The process may take several days.
According to the Sacramento County Department of Health and Human Services says all appropriate protocols are being followed.
The Centers for Disease Control say the 2014 Ebola outbreak is one of the largest in West Africaโs history.
Symptoms of the virus include fever, severe headache, muscle pain and weakness, diarrhea, vomiting, abdominal pain and loss of appetite.
