Boston clinic in lockdown amid ebola scare

A medical clinic outside of Boston was quarantined and a patient has been isolated outside the hospital with a possible case of ebola, the Boston Globe reported last night.

Police, fire officials and emergency medical services arrived at the Harvard Vanguard Medical Center in Braintree, Massachusetts, Joe Zanca, with the Braintree Fire Department, told the Globe.

“Ebola protocol is in place,” Zanca said, noting that the patient in isolation recently travelled to West Africa. Representatives of the hospital and Braintree fire and police departments could not immediately be reached for further comment.
