WASHINGTON (AP) — President Barack Obama has gotten
an update about the latest developments on Ebola from his health
secretary and his assistant for homeland security.
The White House says Obama has asked the Centers
for Disease Control and Prevention to move as quickly as possible in
investigating the apparent breach of infection control procedures at the
Texas hospital that had treated a Liberian man with the virus.
Obama also is having federal authorities take more steps to make sure
hospitals and health care providers are ready to follow the proper
procedures in dealing with an Ebola patient.
