Yale-New Haven hospital admitted a patient late Wednesday night for evaluation of Ebola-like symptoms who is confirmed to be one of the student researchers who traveled to West Africa recently.
A press conference is scheduled for 12:30 p.m. at the hospital.
The patient is one of the two Yale researchers that just returned from Liberia earlier this week. The second researcher has entered into voluntary sequestration. No test results are back at this time.
A statement from the Yale-New Haven Healthcare System around 9 a.m. reads:
Yale-New Haven Hospital admitted a patient late Wednesday night for evaluation of Ebola-like symptoms. We have not confirmed or ruled-out any diagnosis at this point. We are working in cooperation with City, State and Federal health officials. There is no further information available at this time.
