MMWR Morb Mortal Wkly Rep 2015;64(Early Release):1-4
The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), CDC, other U.S. government agencies, the World Health Organization, and international partners are taking multiple steps to respond to the current Ebola outbreak in West Africa to reduce its toll there and to reduce the chances of international spread. At the same time, CDC and HHS are working to ensure that persons who have a risk factor for exposure to Ebola and who develop symptoms while in the United States are rapidly identified and isolated, and safely receive treatment. HHS and CDC have actively worked with state and local public health authorities and other partners to accelerate health care preparedness to care for persons under investigation for Ebola or with confirmed Ebola. This report describes some of these efforts and their impact. |
