Delaware Officials Discuss Ebola Preparations

Delaware officials are talking about steps they are taking in response to the public health threat posed by the Ebola virus.

Gov. Jack Markell planned to join Health and Social Services Secretary Rita Landgraf and public health director Dr. Karyl Rattay on Wednesday for a briefing on Delaware's efforts in response to the Ebola outbreak.

The briefing is being held in conjunction with the third annual Public Health Preparedness Symposium hosted by the Division of Public Health.

Officials say that while there are no known cases of Ebola in Delaware and risk of an outbreak is low, the state is taking steps to prepare for possible impact.
