A US medical clinic outside of Boston is under quarantined and a patient has been isolated outside the hospital with a possible case of Ebola.
Police, fire officials and emergency medical services have arrived at the Harvard Vanguard Medical Center in Braintree, Massachusetts, Joe Zanca, with the Braintree Fire Department, told the Boston Globe.
"Ebola protocol is in place," Zanca said, noting that the patient in isolation recently travelled to West Africa.
The current Ebola outbreak, the worst on record of the disease, has killed more than 4,000 people, mostly in Liberia, Sierra Leone and Guinea in West Africa.
The development in Massachusetts came hours after the announcement that a Texas health worker contracted Ebola after treating a Liberian man who died of the disease at a Dallas hospital last week.
If the preliminary diagnosis is confirmed, it would be the first known case of the disease being contracted or transmitted in the US.
People, people, how about... we stop visiting West Africa.

How expensive is it really for the IMF to raise like 2 billion and invest it to take carr of the areas infected, control all the infected patients and set quarentine perimeters on some of the small villages.
I AM NOT HERE FOR A CONTAGION TEA.
