I agree, I hope someone is doing something. I really don't want to think little to nothing is being done about reaching out to those who might have come in contact. [/quote]

BARBOURVILLE, Ky. — A quarantine situation is underway at a small Kentucky hospital.
WLEX and WRIL are reporting that a student from Union College is under quarantine in the Barbourville ARH Emergency Room with an unidentified illness.
A spokesperson with the college emailed the radio station back stating, "In an effort to be as transparent as possible, I did want to update you regarding this morning rumors. This afternoon, Union College was notified by officials at Barbourville ARH that a student is currently in the emergency room under quarantine. An airborne illness has been ruled out by officials."
On an interview with a local news agency, the lead physician who previously worked for the CDC at ARH has confirmed the patient was visited by relatives from west africa who came in contact with the disease. The patient is being transferred to Atlanta by the CDC.
