Two Columbus children
who have traveled from West Africa are
currently being tested for Ebola, according to
Columbus Public Health.
A 4-year-old and a 6-year-old were
transported to an area hospital at 2 a.m.
Sunday, according to CPH. All of the
necessary safety precautions were taken.
The two children have a fever and are being
screened for respiratory illnesses in addition
to Ebola. A respiratory panel is handling the
cases.
The children were previously being monitored
on a daily basis. They are only contagious
once they have a fever.
No other information was immediately
available.""
Linky to a local NBC news outlet.


Or MAYBE......its just, you know, the flu. But I guess that doesnt make a catchy headline.

But yea it's probably just the flu, but given the kids had recently been in Africa it's best to be safe I suppose
