PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) — How to handle a passenger with symptoms of Ebola is part of the training for Portland International Airport Fire and Rescue crews.
Although the chance of a passenger arriving in Portland is low, fire crews would use an isolation bag to prevent exposing others.
Lt. Michael Dayton tells KATU the bag encapsulates the patient who would be put on a wheeled stretcher. The patient would be sealed up in the bag and given oxygen to breathe.
