Airlines, Railways Taking Precautions When It Comes To Possible Ebola Cases
SACRAMENTO (CBS13) — After a second nurse who cared for the country's first Ebola case was diagnosed with the disease, some are somewhat concerned about the disease.
Amber Vinson, 26, was transported to Emory University Hospital for treatment.
The concerns come from the fact she was did board a flight to visit family in Ohio. The plane moved between Texas, Ohio, Florida and Georgia.
Sacramento International Airport officials tell CBS13 plans are "in place to maintain customer safety." Airport rescue firefighters have been put on alert to watch for symptoms and investigate travel history for any passenger who gets sick and needs medical attention.
Amtrak officials released the following statement after our questions:
"Amtrak is monitoring the Ebola situation in the United States and is in contact with appropriate officials to maintain awareness. We will take all necessary actions should we be informed that an infected passenger traveled on one of our trains."
As soon as any traveler is identified who may be showing symptoms of Ebola, county and state health officials will be informed.
The important thing to remember, state health officials say, is the risk of Ebola is extremely low.
