A patient is being treated for possible Ebola symptoms in Sacramento County. UC Davis Medical Center confirms they have a patient with a suspected case of Ebola.
They said in a statement the patient had “symptoms consistent with Ebola infection”. A spokesperson also told FOX40 in order for their Ebola response team to be activated, the patient must have traveled to a country where the disease is active.
According to UC Davis Medical Center, the hospital remains open and is operating as normal as their team treats the patient with Ebola symptoms.
It will take a few days for confirmation whether or not this patient does indeed have Ebola. A medical center spokesperson said they can do an Ebola test faster than three days, but there is a chance of a false negative result.
