    A suspected Ebola exposure at a Manhattan urgent-care facility had two
    patients rushed to the hospital by emergency workers in hazmat suits
    Sunday – but the infection may be norovirus, sources said.

    The patients were transported from a City MD on East 125th Street and
    Lexington Avenue by first responders wearing hazmat suits, law
    enforcement sources said.

    Ebola symptoms include fever, vomiting, diarrhea, muscle pain, and
    internal and external bleeding.

    Officials feared Ebola infections because patients had traveled from
    Uganda and had symptoms consistent with the disease but no tests had
    confirmed its presence, the sources added. Health officials later said
    the sickness had spread quickly between family members, which meant it
    may be more likely to be norovirus.

    They were have been taken to Bellevue Hospital for testing and further evaluation, the sources added. The City MD had been reopened and first responders OK’d to work with basic PPE equipment.

    Ebola, which is spread through contact with bodily fluids of an infected
    person or contaminated materials, manifests as a deadly hemorrhagic
    fever.

    Its symptoms include fever, vomiting, diarrhea, muscle pain, and at
    times internal and external bleeding and are similar to those of
    norovirus, though the sickness is not deadly'
