After a nurse was diagnosed with Ebola at the Dallas hospital that treated Thomas Eric Duncan, the Liberian man who died last week, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention is considering whether patients with the virus should be transferred to hospitals with special containment units, according to an article in The New York Times.
The nurse became the first person to contract Ebola within the United States, despite wearing protective gear.
The CDC has recommended that health officials look more closely at the protective gear that nurses, doctors and hospital assistants use when treating Ebola patients.
Officials said the nurse may have violated safety protocols. The CDC is conducting a nationwide training conference call today for thousands of healthcare workers to ensure they would be fully prepared to treat a patient with Ebola, the article said.
