Not showing signs, not a resident:
Quote: "On Friday, a health care worker landed at Newark after treating Ebola patients in West Africa, New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie said at the news conference. A legal quarantine was issued for the woman, who was not a New Jersey resident and was set to go on to New York afterward.
“This woman, while her home residence is outside the area, said her next stop was going to be here in New York,” Christie said. “Governor Cuomo and I discussed it before we came out here, and a quarantine order will be issued.”
The woman will be quarantined in either New York or New Jersey, Christie said.
The woman was not showing any symptoms of Ebola, or illness of any kind, when she landed at Newark, CBS 2’s Jessica Schneider reported. But Friday evening, she developed a fever after being placed in isolation at University Hospital in Newark, according to the New Jersey Department of Health, "

You don't need lever 4 safety precautions. Level 4 is an area where you are hooked up to an outside air source. Neither practical or cost effective for dealing with ebola.Quote:

I saw it in L3 facility i worked. During training, same people would do the same shit removing scrubs , hair net, their first layer of gloves. THEN look confused when the bio-safety trainer explained to them AGAIN why you remove outer gloves first.
IF everyone practiced proper hand washing there would be less issues when it came to common cold / flu season. Not to mention Hep alerts due to some untrained or uncaring employee NOT washing their hands after using the rest room, handling money, even their cell phone. Which all their friends have passed around looking at the latest selfie.
I know a handful of people in primary care and they've already informed their managers that they wont come in if Ebola pops up in Colorado.
