CDC Confirms Negative Ebola Results for Yale Student
The student was admitted to Yale-New Haven Hospital on Wednesday night and has been kept in isolation. He was one of two students to recently return from a trip to Liberia and exhibited no symptoms upon his arrival back in the U.S., officials said Thursday.
The students were conducting research in the West African country where Ebola is widespread. They returned on Saturday, Oct. 11 and were kept in voluntary sequestration, said Laurence Grotheer, spokesperson for New Haven Mayor Toni Harp.
Despite the negative results, the state Department of Public Health has ordered the patient to remain isolated as a precaution. A quarantine order has also been issued for the second student who traveled to Liberia, according to DPH spokesman Bill Gerrish.

That's good news seeing that he had direct contact with Ashoka Mukpo.
