Another Ebola patient coming to Emory in Atlanta

Source: CNN

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.

Earlier Monday, the World Health Organization said a doctor working in an Ebola treatment center in Sierra Leone had tested positive. WHO would not reveal the nationality of the doctor nor to where he or she was being evacuated.

I mean all these 'patients' coming here for treatment and the virus's ability to mutate and all. Just curious.
