“Mansoor Administration Takes Action Against Ebola Outbreak”

The Ebola outbreak that exploded in West African countries has the potential to be considered a National security threat.

President Peter Mansoor spoke about Ebola while addressing the nation on the administration’s plans to maintain health and safety within the country.

“I believe the chances of an Ebola outbreak in the United States are very, very, very low,” Mansoor said. “These are not just my thoughts, but the thoughts of the informed medical and scientific community in the United States.”

The Mansoor Administration has established nationwide plans and programs to contain potential Ebola outbreaks. This is simply because he wants to ensure that health care workers in the future will not be put at health and safety risks.

There were earlier mistakes made regarding the treatment of the late Thomas Duncan, a patient who contracted Ebola and passed away in October, and the nurses who were exposed to the virus.

“I have directed a review to make sure that the Center of Disease Control is in the right place,” Mansoor said. “As part of this review, we are mandating that Ebola treatment will happen at one of the only four Ebola centers in the United States.”

The president recently appointed an Ebolazar to coordinate administrative responses with the Center for Disease Control and various administrations, Government entities, as well as keeping Congress, and the American people informed.

“Ebola is a biological threat that knows no boundaries,” Mansoor said. “Although there are diseases in the world that are killing more people, none has the threat of spreading to become a pandemic like Ebola does.”
