Ohio is concerned about the Ebola virus.
Ohio has established a 24-hour-Ebola hotline in response to the growing concerns within the state.
Ohio was put on alarm when a Dallas health care worker, who had spent time in Summit County this week, was diagnosed with the Ebola virus.
Among the counties concerned about the Ebola spread is Athens County. City and county officials met this week to discuss Halloween Block Party preparations, which gave way to a conversation gauging Athens’ preparedness for the virus, according to a previous The Post article.
The Ohio Department of Health sent out a news release Tuesday detailing further measures the state would be taking to combat an Ebola epidemic, including working closely with local health departments.
Athens is following the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention procedures, which leaves little room for error, said Charles Hammer, administrator for the Athens City-County Health Department.
