A suspected Ebola patient has been quarantined at a hospital in Baltimore, Maryland.

The unidentified patient was transferred to the University of Maryland Medical Center at around 6pm tonight following a request from state health officials.

Hospital directors would not confirm where the person was transferred from or whether they had recently arrived from abroad.

In a memo sent out to hospital employees, read by CBS, a spokesman said: ‘We have accepted the transport by DHMH (Public Health) of a potential Ebola patient for further assessment.

‘They are appropriately isolated and receiving further assessment and care.’

Maryland’s University hospital is one of just three in the state equipped to treat the deadly virus.

One, the National Institute of Health in Bethedsa, admitted former Ebola patient Nina Pham 10 days ago.

She was discharged days later when tests revealed she had overcome the disease.
