Late Wednesday evening, Oct. 15, Yale New Haven Hospital admitted a patient who met the threshold to be monitored for Ebola Virus Disease (EVD). The hospital is working with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the Connecticut Department of Public Health to have the patient tested for EVD. The hospital is currently overseeing operations related to the monitoring and care of the patient.
The hospital has been actively monitoring the Ebola virus situation and has procedures in place to detect and isolate any patient showing symptoms of the disease. Yale New Haven has advanced equipment and facilities and a staff well trained to treat any patient with Ebola, and holds regular drills to address situations such as infectious disease outbreaks.
Very few people are at risk of contracting Ebola. It is transmitted only by direct contact with the blood or body fluids of an infected patient showing active symptoms (fever over 101.5°F, severe headache, muscle pain, weakness, diarrhea, vomiting, stomach pain, unexplained bleeding or bruising). Patients, families and visitors should continue to come to the hospital and their doctors’ offices for care without fear of being exposed to Ebola virus.
Yale New Haven Hospital employs protection measures even greater than those recommended by the CDC. If a patient with Ebola symptoms comes to the hospital, he or she would be isolated from other patients and cared for in a special isolation room. Staff caring for patients with infectious diseases like Ebola wear protective gear, such as masks, face shields, gloves, protective gowns or suits and other equipment.
