BALTIMORE (WJZ) — The University of Maryland Medical Center admitted a possible Ebola patient right here in Baltimore. WJZ was first to report the news that a patient is being evaluated here.

Moments after the state unveiled its tougher plan to prevent the spread of Ebola in Maryland, a top city health leader says they’re monitoring a potential case at the University of Maryland Medical Center. “These actions are preventive in nature and intended to safeguard public for risk,” said Dr. Jacquelyn Duval Harvey.

Dr. Jacquelyn Duval Harvey is with the Baltimore City Health Department and says the patient flew internationally before landing at an area airport. “If there is any potential for risk, it’s important that we stop it before we spread the disease. Part of that is what public health calls containment,” she said.

In a letter sent to hospital employees, that patient will be isolated in a room at the emergency department.

“Maryland will be directly monitoring the health of all travelers from affected countries,” said Governor Martin O’Malley.

This comes as the state intensifies their monitoring of people traveling from West Africa to the US, asking those who have had close contact with the virus to self-quarantine in their homes for 21 days, take their temperatures at least four times a day and regularly update state health care workers about their condition.

1. As a person I hope no one in Baltimore catches Ebola.

As a Browns fan I hope every member of the Baltimore Ravens gets a serious case of the shits but not Ebola.
