Over the past month, New York State has been taking a series of ongoing steps to be ready for an Ebola case. New York States Ebola plan calls for eight hospitals statewide to handle all patients diagnosed with #Ebola. Those eight hospitals are prepared and equipped for the isolation, identification, and treatment of Ebola patients. Please remember that we are equipped and ready to respond adequately to this case. Most importantly, know your facts - Ebola is spread by directly touching the bodily fluids of an infected person. Ebola is not spread through the air or by water – or simply by being near an infected person.
