Minn. Officials Walk Through Mock Ebola Scenario

ST. PAUL, Minn. (AP) — More than 100 representatives from several Minnesota agencies are going through a mock exercise to review the state's preparedness in the event of a case of Ebola.

Officials from the Department of Health and the Department of Public Safety are holding what they are calling a tabletop exercise on Thursday.

They say participants will walk through a mock Ebola scenario and apply the state's response plans for dealing with the scenario.

The goal is to bring agencies together to confirm everyone's roles and responsibilities in the event that someone in Minnesota is found to have Ebola.
