The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), CDC, other 

U.S. government agencies, the World Health Organization, and international 

partners are taking multiple steps to respond to the current Ebola outbreak 

in West Africa to reduce its toll there and to reduce the chances of international 

spread. At the same time, CDC and HHS are working to ensure that persons 

who have a risk factor for exposure to Ebola and who develop symptoms while 

in the United States are rapidly identified and isolated, and safely receive treatment. 

HHS and CDC have actively worked with state and local public health authorities 

and other partners to accelerate health care preparedness to care for persons 

under investigation for Ebola or with confirmed Ebola. This report describes 

some of these efforts and their impact.
