Hospital officials in Connecticut have quarantined a patient with Ebola-like symptoms as a precaution, CBS Hartford affiliate WFSB-TV reports.
Officials said that the patient was admitted to Yale-New Haven Hospital.
They confirmed that the patient was one of the Yale University student researchers that helped monitor the Ebola outbreak in Liberia last month. That student was one of two who had been tested in Liberia. Both had negative results. They came back home on Oct. 11.
University officials at the time said the two students voluntarily sequestered themselves and did not show any symptoms. The other student remains in isolation.
The hospital released a statement Thursday morning.
