Mount Sinai Hospital in New York City says it is monitoring a patient who may be showing symptoms of Ebola.
The hospital issued a statement saying the man came into the emergency room early Monday morning with high fever and gastrointestinal symptoms, after recently traveling to a West African country where Ebola has been reported.
The hospital says he has been placed into strict isolation while he undergoes tests to determine the cause of his illness.
'All necessary steps are being taken to ensure the safety of all patients, visitors and staff,' the hospital statement said. 'We will continue to work closely with federal, state and city health officials to address and monitor this case, keep the community informed and provide the best quality care to all of our patients.'
