C.D.C. Reviewing Procedures After New Case of Ebola in Dallas

The NY Times has a good article discussing mistakes made in Dallas:

DALLAS — The director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said Monday that the agency was rethinking how health officials perform infection control at hospitals as they monitored an expanded group of at least 50 hospital workers who may have had contact with a Liberian man who died last week of Ebola.

“It does change substantially how we approach it,” Dr. Thomas R. Frieden, director of the C.D.C., said. “We have to rethink the way we address Ebola infection control. Even a single infection is unacceptable.”

There could be additional cases, particularly among the health care workers who provided care,” for Mr. Duncan, 42, who arrived in America last month, Dr. Frieden said.

On Monday, public health officials briefed President Obama on the latest in the Ebola situation, aides said. Mr. Obama met with Sylvia Burwell, the secretary of health and human services; Susan Rice, his national security adviser; Lisa Monaco, a top White House security adviser; and Dr. Frieden.
