[BRIEF] A 30-year-old woman is currently isolated at the University of New Mexico (UNM) Hospital while being assessed for the Ebola virus. The New Mexico Department of Health and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention are conducting tests on the woman.
According to authorities, the woman left Sierra Leone earlier this month. Since returning, the woman developed symptoms associated with Ebola, including sore throat, fever, headache, and muscle aches.
The woman was not known to have been exposed to Ebola in Sierra Leone, the health department stated Sunday, but has been isolated while tests are underway.
More information is expected Sunday evening. A doctor involved in the case has scheduled a press statement for 5:30 PM.
