Health Commissioner Dr. Ed Ehlinger, along with Gov. Mark Dayton and other top elected officials, said that all hospitals in Minnesota will receive training on how to identify and then isolate possible Ebola patients.

Ehlinger was in the WCCO-TV studio to talk with Esme Murphy on Sunday morning. The commissioner spoke on where the Ebola treatment facilities will likely be in Minnesota, as well as politicians calling for travel bans, CDC protocol, and Ebola screenings at the Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport.
