While there are no confirmed cases of Ebola in Canada, Manitoba Health says they are prepared in the unlikely event that a case presents itself.

Ingrid Olson, the Executive Director of Clinical Services and the Infection Prevention Control Designate for Ebola in Northern Manitoba, assures that if Health Sciences Centre determines that a person is an at-risk patient, then a protocol is in place.

"The intent is that we would immediately transport them to Winnipeg to be treated at Health Sciences Centre which is the designated treatment site for Manitoba."

Olson reminds the public that the only way to contract the disease is through direct contact with an infected person.   Anyone with questions or concerns is encouraged to call Health Links at 1-888-315-9257 or go to www.nrha.ca.
