A corridor of Carolinas Medical Center – Main’s Emergency Room is roped off on the first floor near the entrance.
A security guard is posted outside to prevent anyone from crossing the line.
CMC officials said a patient is being tested, but a spokesman would not specify what they are testing the patient for.
Wednesday morning, the issue at CMC was not impacting Medic services, according to officials.
The hospital is taking “all normal precautions,” according to officials.
The Centers for Disease Control said it has not been contacted.

Maybe the ultimate terrorist act has begun. Can you say it?
Is this in Pineville or up near UNCC?
Let’s hope it’s nothing.
Me too. But TSA and DHS only look for hard threats like bombs, guns and knives. They, along with the State Department stopped doing health screening because of gays.
Ebola, TB, or some other disease?
It’s the Carolinas Medical Center’s main campus in Charlotte
Wasn’t there a group of NC missionaries who had been exposed to ebola?
How about the start of marshall law.
OK, now I’m scared.
Yes I know one woman that got it. It’s a Nancy Writebol.
Yes I can.
Weapons of Mass Ebola
THey don’t usually rope off areas for TB, just put the person in a mask.
Lets open the borders — sure, great idea.
With lice visibly crawling down their faces.
Great.
Probably nothing to worry about.
It’s ebola, isn’t it?
Open 3rd world immigration will make us a third world country too
“The hospital is taking “all normal precautions,” according to officials”
Normal for what abnormal circumstances?
The key thing (which will never be authorized until the bodies start piling up) is the cordoned-off hospital/ER has to be surrounded by Army or National Guard with shoot-to-kill orders to maintain the perimeter.
Infected civilians WILL be allowed to leave, and as soon as they get home to grab a toothbrush, their next stop is the airport.
This happens every time the scenario is run, always with the same result. Once you have the military authorized to maintain travel restriction with live ammo, it's too late because you have dozens or even hundreds of epicenters active at the same time.
Probably just another alien carrying the diseases Americans are unwilling to carry.
I would be most worried about TB. While Ebola is deadly and contagious, its far more deadly in Africa due to the substandard medical care in the areas where it occurs.
I saw a doc on the news last night talking about how easy it is to treat if you have reasonably good medical care. She said it was basically a matter of keeping the patient hydrated and keeping the fever under control till the disease runs it’s course while preventing the spread.
