Can't mention the name of a patient. Medical privacy laws.

Oh. That makes sense. While searching for more on the Kentucky story I came across this on the Kentucky news channel --

Sigh of relief:

Southern Kentucky Hospital Quarantine Lifted

Test Results Expected Today Following Hospital Quarantine

27NEWSFIRST & WYMT Mountain News have learned that Marymount Hospital in London is no longer under quarantine.

According to Dr. Rice Leach, the state health commissioner, there is no public health indicator to continue a quarantine.

However, hospital officials made the move Tuesday evening after admitting a patient who believed to be infected with small pox.

According to Dr. Leach, the patient's belief is most likely to be unfounded.

There has not been a case of small pox in the United States in fifty years.

The CDC has been contacted.

Officials there believe it is highly unlikely for the patient to have small pox.

However, tests are still being administered

The quarantine has been lifted, and people are now allowed to leave the hospital.

We'll continue to bring you the more details on this breaking news situation as information develops.
