"A D.C. hospital is treating a patient they say has symptoms that could be associated with Ebola. The unidentified patient recently traveled to Africa, according to a Howard University spokesperson.

"We can confirm that a patient has been admitted to Howard University Hospital in stable condition, following travel to Nigeria and presenting with symptoms that could be associated with Ebola," university spokesperson Kerry-Ann Hamilton said in a statement Friday.

"In an abundance of caution, we have activated the appropriate infection control protocols, including isolating the patient. Our medical team continues to evaluate and monitor progress in close collaboration with the CDC and the Department of Health," Hamilton continued.

"For privacy reasons, we cannot share additional details about the case. We will continue to provide key updates as the situation warrants," she added.

D.C. Department of Health director Dr. Joxel Garcia said they are working with both the Centers for Disease Control and Howard University Hospital to monitor any patients who have symptoms associated with the Ebola virus.

"At this time, there are no confirmed cases of Ebola in the District of Columbia," Garcia said in a statement Friday afternoon.
