Blood samples from two patients at separate U.S. hospitals are being tested for Ebola as countries in West Africa struggle to contain the worst-ever outbreak of the disease. Health officials from both states said neither person is likely to have the disease.
Officials at the hospitals, in New Mexico and California, said yesterday that as a precaution they are sending the samples to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in Atlanta to rule out the presence of the virus.
