Children's hospital in Atlanta building Ebola isolation unit

By The Associated Press
ATLANTA (AP) A children's hospital in Atlanta is building a special isolation unit to treat children who might be infected by Ebola. <br /> <br /> Children's Healthcare of Atlanta spokeswoman Patty Gregory stressed that the health system does not have any patient with the Ebola virus. <br /> <br /> Gregory on Wednesday confirmed to The Atlanta Journal-Constitution that the unit was being constructed. <br /> <br /> The Children's Healthcare website states that it is creating the unit to provide care to children with possible or confirmed Ebola virus infections. <br /> <br /> The system hasn't said which of its three hospitals will have the unit or how soon it would be operational. <br /> <br /> The Atlanta newspaper said it asked several questions about the unit, and that Children's Healthcare of Atlanta responded with a written statement that answered virtually none of them. <br />
