California Department of Health establishes Ebola hotline

The California Department of Public Health has established an Ebola hotline call center to respond to public inquiries related to the disease.

“This hotline has been set up and staffed to answer questions from those concerned about the possibility of Ebola in California,” said Dr. Ron Chapman, CDPH director and state health officer. “Our goal is to be available to eliminate the mystery of this disease and offer the facts to Californians as the situation evolves. This is one in a series of steps we have taken in the last few months.”

The hotline, 855-421-5921 will be in operation from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Monday through Friday.

There are currently no confirmed cases of Ebola in California and no suspect cases.
