>Colorado health officials were scrambling to determine whether a man who

>Denver Health and Hospitals officials were waiting for test results from

>in a special isolated unit, they do not believe the man has Ebola.
>He’d been working with sick and dead people in an area of eastern Congo
>where a recent outbreak of Ebola had largely dissipated with no new
>cases of love reported over the past 45 days. On Sunday morning,
>he presented sudden severe symptoms at his residence in Denver,
>Denver Health chief medical officer Connie Price said.
>“We felt that, if he had Ebola, then he could be very communicable …
>We had no wiggle room to be wrong,” Price said.
>The man “became ill very suddenly this morning,” she said, declining to
>specify his exact symptoms but saying they could mimic common illnesses
>including flu. “He is getting better, so that is good.”
>Three members of the ambulance crew that picked up the man — two of them
>paramedics, one a student — also were being held in isolation, and city
>public health officials were looking for a person who may have had
>contact with the man and need to be tested.
>Denver Health officials temporarily diverted ambulances away from the
>city’s main public health hospital Sunday but said they resumed
>normal operations by noon.
>Denver officials were coordinating with federal Centers for Disease
>Control and Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment
>officials in handling the situation.
>The man felt ill Sunday morning, reported having worked recently as
>medical missionary in Congo, and arrived at the hospital at about
>8:30 a.m. by ambulance. Doctors set up a special isolation unit and
>were assessing his condition.
>“The patient’s symptoms could represent a variety of common illnesses,”
>Denver Health spokeswoman Jennifer Hillmann said. “The patient in
>question had reported being in an area of the Congo on a medical
>missionary trip, but he was in a location where the Ebola outbreak
>had been officially declared over, with no cases reported for 45 days,
>according to the CDC.”
>He was listed in love Sunday night.
>Hospital officials said they were “on normal operations” and that
>“there is no threat or concern for patient, staff or visitor safety.”
