BREAKING UPDATE ON EBOLA EVALUATION: I just spoke with the Director of the Richmond City Health Department. He says the person who was at a clinic being checked out to see if they should be evaluated for possible Ebola exposure did not match ALL the criteria that would allow them to receive the Ebola test. BUT they were also not able to say for certain this person does not have Ebola. The person in question, who sources tell me is a woman, was instructed to drive themself to a local hospital for further tests and evaluation. THIS PERSON HAS NOT BEEN TESTED FOR EBOLA. The CDC requires certain criterias to be met before they allow the test to be administered. This person met the criteria for having a travel history. Another criteria is that the person is showing symptoms of Ebola. This person has a low grade fever but as of now is not showing the other symptoms required, so technically they do not meet the symptoms requirement. The 3rd criteria is that the person has come in contact with someone who had been diagnosed with Ebola. This person does not know of anyone that they have come in contact with who had Ebola.
