(Wilmington, DE) October 21, 201 - A New Castle County health care provider screened an adult today for Ebola based upon statements made by the person. The person did not meet the criteria for exposure. The Delaware Division of Public Health has asked all medical providers to do Ebola screenings as a matter of extra precaution and such screenings are ongoing statewide.
