Wolf Statement On Possible Ebola Patient In Loudoun County

Oct 16, 2014

Washington, D.C. – Rep. Frank Wolf (R-VA) released the following statement today regarding reports that a woman who recently travelled from West Africa is being tested for the Ebola virus at a hospital in Loudoun County:

“Since July I have been voicing concern that there is not a sufficient plan in place to deal with the deadly disease.  Last week I called on the Obama Administration to appoint one person to coordinate a response.  Regrettably, my recommendations have fallen on deaf ears. 

“Today I am calling for a ban on travel from those West African nations battling Ebola.”
