California Halts Ebola Monitoring Program
On Wednesday, California public health officials announced that the state no longer will monitor individuals traveling from West Africa for symptoms of Ebola, citing an end to outbreaks of the disease in Guinea, Liberia and Sierra Leone. Officials launched the monitoring program on Oct. 12, 2014, after a nurse at a Dallas-based hospital tested positive for the disease.
