Suburban hospitals play it safe with Ebola; one patient put into isolation

October 14, 2014

A patient was placed in isolation at Advocate Sherman Hospital in Elgin while he was being assessed for the Ebola virus -- which eventually was ruled out, hospital officials confirmed Monday. The patient reported flu-like symptoms and having recently traveled to Africa. "We knew from the start that the likelihood that patient would have Ebola was very, very slim, but we still have to enact all those protocols," a spokeswoman said.
