A suspected Ebola patient has been taken to hospital in New York City after a visit to West Africa.
The patient was rushed to the Bellevue hospital with Ebola-like symptoms in Manhattan earlier today, said a city fire department spokesperson.
The FDNY has set up a command post with a decontamination unit at the hospital, the New York Post reports.
Hospital officials have said the patient began feeling ill after a recent trip to Guinea.
