Disease Detectives Investigate Ebola Breach
“疾病偵探”調查埃博拉感染原因
An American nurse who was treating an Ebola victim at a hospital in Texas has tested positive for the deadly disease that is ravaging West Africa. This is the first known case of Ebola being contracted in the US. The nurse had reportedly taken all necessary precautions to eliminate contamination, including wearing protective gear, such as a mask, gloves, gown, and shield. Disease detectives are currently investigating what went wrong. They are particularly interested in how the gear was removed after the nurse treated her patient who has since died. Nurses all over the US have stepped out to voice their concerns about the lack of training to deal with Ebola. Only a handful of hospitals in the US are fully trained to deal with highly infectious diseases. Passengers arriving in the US from the hardest hit countries are now being screened for Ebola at five US airports.
