Atlanta (CNN) -- Another patient with Ebola is heading to the isolation unit at Emory University Hospital in Atlanta.
An air ambulance will fly the patient from West Africa and is expected to arrive on Tuesday morning, Emory Healthcare said in a statement.
University officials said Monday that they could not reveal additional details because of confidentiality restrictions.
The State Department described the patient as a U.S. citizen who contracted the disease in Sierra Leone.
