Officials at Mount Sinai Hospital are treating a patient who recently traveled to a West African country where the Ebola virus has been reported.
The hospital says the man walked into the Emergency Room early this morning with a high fever and gastrointestinal symptoms.
Officials say the patient is in strict isolation and is undergoing tests.
Mount Sinai says it is taking the necessary step to keep all other patients, visitors and staff safe.
In a statement, the hospital says, “We will continue to work closely with federal, state and city health officials to address and monitor this case, keep the community informed and provide the best quality care to all of our patients.”
