In New York, a teenager with symptoms of Ebola fever is hospitalized

In New York, a 14-year-old teenager with symptoms of Ebola fever was hospitalized. According to the New York Post , he recently returned from a two -week trip to Sudan.

According to ITAR-TASS, on Friday evening, a teenager living with his parents in the Brooklyn area rose sharply, and he lost consciousness. Doctors took him to the hospital and placed him in an insulating unit. Currently, doctors conduct tests in order to determine whether he is sick with Ebola fever.

Today at John Kennedy International Airport in New York, enhanced control measures began to operate, designed to prevent the penetration of Ebola. In particular, passengers arriving in the United States from Western Africa are measuring the temperature. Starting next week, such measures will be introduced in four more large air harbors of the United States, which will allow you to cover 94% of the dangerous African countries arriving in the States.

According to the World Health Organization, the number of victims of the Ebola virus in Western Africa exceeded 4 thousand people. Most of the deaths are in three countries - Liberia, Sierra Leone and Guinea.

Concerned about the spread of the Ebola virus grew to the United States after the Liberian Thomas Duncan, the first person in whom Ebola’s fever was diagnosed in the United States, died on the last Wednesday in Texas. Duncan arrived in a country from Liberia in mid -September by a commercial flight.
