The bottom item on page 12 reported on coordination between the UJO and NYC Department of Health (NYC DOHMH) to dispel misinformation after the reports that an Ebola patient spent time in Williamsburg. After the reports went out of a confirmed case of a person who was in Williamsburg, the UJO contacted the DOHMH, and its leaders quickly provided information, pointing out that
the main concern of shedding the virus is when a patient feels terribly sick. It is only then that the virus can be transmitted through bodily fluids.
The UJO publicized the information. It thanked the department for the vital and timely details to prevent unnecessary panic and to keep the public informed.
