UPDATE: Ebola Ruled Out in Lakewood
UPDATE: The New Jersey Department of Health (DOH) said a Neptune resident who fell sick after recently returning from Africa does not have Ebola.
The statement released Wednesday morning by DOH said the man is “being treated for a non-contagious travel-related illness. Ebola has been ruled out.”
Original Story:
Reports coming out of Lakewood indicate that Hazmat crews responded to an Ocean County condo complex after receiving reports of a person who showed "Ebola-like" symptoms. It could be several days before we know if in fact .... it is Ebola, but is this too close to home now?
- Do you feel officials are doing enough to protect the public from this health threat?
- What can be done to further protect against ebola cases?
- Does it scare you with a possible Ebola case here in Ocean County?
