Emory University Hospital said in a statement that it’s uncertain precisely when the patient will arrive at its isolation unit in Atlanta, beyond “within the next several days.” An aircraft with special gear to contain the virus and provide care in-flight will carry the patient to Atlanta. The CDC, which has its headquarters in Atlanta, has long experience in the transport of people with infectious diseases. A State Department spokesman said, The CDC has devised plans and equipment to do it safely. Patients were evacuated in similar ways during the SARS outbreak in 2003 and in cases involving drug resistant tuberculosis in 2007.
