CDC Blames "Breach in Protocol" For New Ebola Patient

CDC Blames “Breach in Protocol” For New Ebola Patient
Oct. 12, 2014
News broke earlier today that an unidentified nurse that treated now-deceased Ebola patient Thomas Eric Duncan had tested positive for the disease. Her illness was identified via a self-monitoring program and was isolated immediately after she reported a low-grade fever.
CDC Director Thomas Friedan said he was “deeply concerned” about this new infection, and said that there must have been a breach in safety protocol for ebola to have spread. It’s possible that the nurse was infected by improperly removing safety equipment.
