A five year-old boy was quarantined in New York City today after showing signs of Ebola.
The boy had returned from Guinea on Saturday.
But, Barack Obama still won’t ban travelers from Ebola countries.
ABC News reported:
A 5-year-old boy who returned home from Guinea Saturday is being tested for Ebola at New York City’s Bellevue Hospital, officials said today. Preliminary results will be available within the next 12 hours.
The boy was transported to Bellevue Hospital Sunday night because of his travel history and initial reports that he had a fever, but he actually had no symptoms when he first arrived at the hospital, officials said.
He developed a fever this morning, prompting the Ebola test, officials told ABC News.
