Ebola in US: CDC to issue new guidelines for healthcare workers

The CDC will issue new guidelines for healthcare workers handling Ebola patients, the Los Angeles Times reported.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention is “wrapping up the final details” about the new guidelines, which come in the wake of the first Ebola cases in the US, CDC spokeswoman Melissa Brower has said.

As of October 17, roughly 1,000 people were being watched for symptoms, asked to monitor themselves or urged to check with a counselor at the CDC. None has exhibited symptoms.

The group includes those who may have flown on a Frontier Airlines jetliner that carried Amber Vinson, the second of two nurses who contracted Ebola after caring for Thomas Eric Duncan at Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital.
