ANNAPOLIS, Md. (AP) - Maryland officials say anyone who's diagnosed with Ebola in the state would be treated at one of three hospitals - one of them in Washington - if a federal facility is not available.
State officials released their plan for dealing with a confirmed Ebola case on Thursday. The state still hasn't said how it plans to monitor all people returning to the state from West Africa, where the virus is concentrated. The Centers for Disease Control has ordered Maryland and five other states to monitor everyone coming from Guinea, Liberia and Sierra Leone.
If no federal treatment centers are available, anyone testing positive for Ebola in Maryland would go to either Johns Hopkins Hospital or the University of Maryland Medical Center in Baltimore or to Medstar Washington Hospital Center.
