A person who landed at LAX after traveling to Liberia has been rushed to Centinela Hospital Medical Center to be tested for Ebola, according to a statement from the hospital obtained by TheWrap.
The patient was brought to the Centinela Hospital Medical Center Emergency Department on Tuesday night by ambulance from Los Angeles International Airport.
“Ambulance personnel alerted the hospital prior to arrival so upon entry to the hospital campus, all CDC precautions were fully implemented,” said the hospital in a statement. “The hospital has been preparing for the possibility of this situation for weeks and staff has been trained per CDC protocols.”
The patient does not have any symptoms of Ebola, but precautions were taken due to travel history and the patient has not yet tested positive or negative for the virus. The patient will remain isolated in the hospital's ER for evaluation and testing will be conducted in consultation with the CDC, according to the hospital.

The Open Borders Crowd have proven open borders are dangerous for all of us.
Can you imagine is Ebola spreads to the “illegal” community? It would wipe out LA.
They're being smart? All passengers flying in from Liberia should be quarantined for 21 days. Question is - who's gonna pay for it?
Years ago, during the big Toxic Shock Scare of the 80’s, I knew a girl who made a panicked trip to the ER after she got the flu at the wrong time of the month.
We’re gonna see a LOT of that type of thing with ebola.
Sure he does. That's why he trades a traitor for 5 Afghani terrorists and leaves a true American patriot Marine to languish in a Mexican jail when it probably would have taken one phone call to get him out. If the phone call didn't work then he should have been all over the press encouraging American's to NOT vacation in Mexico. That would have fixed it instantly.
We all know about his "priorities" and they disgusts me.
Quarantine them IN LIBERIA!
Better yet!
That community's life IS the consumption and exchange of intimate bodily fluids with as many anonymous donors (er, gay partners) as possible in as many ways as apossible: Oral-anal, anal-anal, oral-oral, oral-sexual, ...
Janet Yellen bucks?
Rushed directly from LAX with no symptoms, because of travel history? How does that make sense with no travel ban? About 150 a day are arriving from infected countries. Do we welcome them in and rush them all from the plane to the hospital? That is begging for exposed people to come here.
Travel history probably included contact with infected person(s).
Exactly. Well said.
Good one...!!! Haha...!
“They’re being smart? All passengers flying in from Liberia should be quarantined for 21 days. Question is - who’s gonna pay for it?”
Liberia. Or all flights out of Liberia are cancelled indefinitely.
If we are going to allow people to travel to the United States from the countries that have ebola outbreaks, they should be forced into a mandatory 21 day monitoring facility before being released into the general population.
Of course, it may be too late for this type of measure now.
Including all passengers on the plane and terminals.
Pay me now or pay me later. Obviously the government pays for it.
