The guidance includes:
• Bag any linen used by a patient being tested for Ebola
• Store the bag in the patient's room
• If the patient tests positive for Ebola, the linen should be treated as a Category A infectious substance
"Ebola presents special challenges for hospitals and caregivers related to the handling of linens," said David Van Vliet, president and CEO of Angelica.
