Windsor paramedics don protective gear to treat patient showing Ebola symptoms ***Probably nothing since all others have turned up negative************ Essex-Windsor EMS paramedics at Windsor Regional Hospital's Ouellette Avenue campus Monday September 08, 2014. Paramedics wearing protective latex suits, goggles and masks brought a patient to the facility with possible Ebola virus symptoms. (NICK BRANCACCIO/The Windsor Star) Trevor Wilhelm Sep 08, 2014 - 1:11 PM EDT Last Updated: Sep 08, 2014 - 1:32 PM EDT Windsor paramedics donned latex suits and face masks Monday to treat a patient who recently returned from Nigeria and is now showing possible symptoms of the Ebola virus. Windsor-Essex EMS received a call Monday from the university area about a person – who recently returned from Nigeria — with various symptoms including a rash and fever. EMS Deputy Chief Chris Grant said dispatch asked the caller a number of questions as part of a standard screening process. “From that screening process they determine what they could be dealing with,” said Grant. “Because of them travelling out of town to areas of concern with the Ebola virus going on, and presenting some of the symptoms, we are treating it as a possible Ebola incident until proven differently.” Windsor doctor returns home after treating deadly Ebola outbreak Hospitals urged to prepare despite low risk of Ebola virus coming to Canada Airlines are taking precautions after Ebola outbreak; passengers should be alert but not worry Paramedics responded in “full protective gear” with latex suits, glasses and respiratory breathing masks. Grant said paramedics would also do “reverse isolation” and put a mask on the patient to stop the possible spread of whatever is afflicting him. EMS alerted the Ouellette Avenue campus of Windsor Regional Hospital that the patient was on the way so officials there could take precautions. The hospital didn’t immediately respond to calls from The Star. Grant stressed that paramedics are just taking precautions, and the patient’s status has not been confirmed. “There are multiple different viruses out there that can present the same way,” said Grant. “Until we can clarify what it is, we’re just taking all precautionary measures.”
