HONOLULU, Oct. 2 (UPI) -- A possible Ebola virus case has surfaced in Hawaii, where a patient is in isolation and undergoing tests, the Hawaii Health Department said.
"We are early in the investigation of a patient, very, very early, who we're investigating that might have Ebola. It's very possible that they do and they have Ebola. I think it's also more likely that they have another condition that presents with similar symptoms," said Dr. Melissa Viray, deputy state epidemiologist told KHON-TV, Honolulu. She added the public need not be concerned, reinforcing that the situation remains only a possible case of the Ebola virus.
