| NYC 911 system begins screening for Ebola potential |
| 2014-10-06 |
Beginning Saturday, callers to 911 complaining of Ebola-like symptoms, such as high fever and nausea, will be grilled about their recent travel history. And if they've been to one of the African countries affected by the virus, paramedics will show up in protective suits.
The city's 11 public hospitals recently launched an aggressive campaign to watch out for Ebola patients,
even sending in undercover workers masquerading as potential victims to assess ER staff preparedness. |
