OKLAHOMA CITY —President Barack Obama announced Monday that the U.S. government will heighten screenings at U.S. airports to help detect those infected before they enter the country.
The move comes in an attempt to assuage fears about a possible Ebola outbreak in the country.
In an exclusive interview with KOCO morning co-anchor Erielle Reshef, Dr. Oz addressed the rampant virus.
“The big risk with Ebola, and by the way this won’t be the last time Ebola comes to this country, so even if it’s Dallas now it might be Oklahoma City next week. There are going to be more people trying to leave West Africa who have the virus,” he warned.
Oz pointed to the case of Thomas Eric Duncan, the first patient to show up infected at an American Hospital. Duncan is now being treated with experimental drugs.
“He came here because he knew his best chance of success was here,” said Oz.
