Creatas/Thinkstock(ARLINGTON, Va.) — A Virginia resident was released from Virginia Hospital Center on Thursday after being evaluated for possible Ebola.
The patient had a fever and a history of recent travel from an Ebola-affected area, according to the Arlington County website. But after evaluation, it was determined that the individual had no known exposure to Ebola and that medical findings were not consistent with the disease.
The Arlington County Public Health Department will continue to monitor the patient through the full 21 day incubation period, under the Virginia Department of Health Arriving Passenger Monitoring Plan.
According to the county website, “Arlington County Public Health and Virginia Hospital Center are working together — in collaboration with the Virginia Department of Health — and followed the recommended course of action for such case.” The county says “there is no cause for public concern.”
