NEW YORK (CBSNewYork/AP) – A patient at Mount Sinai Hospital was under treatment Monday afternoon, after being tested after traveling to a country where the Ebola virus is present, the hospital said in a statement.
The man arrived at the East Harlem medical center’s emergency room early Monday morning with high fever and gastrointestinal symptoms. The man told doctors he had recently traveled to a West African country where Ebola has been reported, the hospital said.
The man has been placed in “strict isolation” and is undergoing various tests to determine the cause of the symptoms, the hospital said.
“All necessary steps are being taken to ensure the safety of all patients, visitors and staff,” the hospital said in a statement. “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.”
The World Health Organization announced Monday that the death toll has increased from 729 to 887 deaths in Guinea, Sierra Leone, Liberia and Nigeria, CBS News reported. Most of the newly reported deaths occurred in Liberia.

Over the last 40 years 3000 people have died from the Ebola virus.
For the same time period 39 million people have died from AIDS.
Are the covered by Obama Care?
#1 so what is your point?
To #1: yes, but Ebola poses a much bigger threat. It is highly contagious and can be transmitted by minimal contact. Infection is hard to treat and death is typically swift and horrible. Aids, on the other hand, is only contracted by the ways we all know. It’s also become fairly routine to manage.
#1 what’s your point?
AND both have originated in Africa!
#6. And so did we.
#7 speak for yourself. None of my family tree would ever be traced there.
Do a complete DNA ancestry map using a service like http://www.23andme.com You will find out a great deal more about where you came from. Way more than several generations of what makes up even the best family tree.
I’m well aware of my ancestry without some internet crap.
Not one ounce of DNA from that continent. thankfully
