This is a test: Vic. Hospital Ebola ‘scare’ only a drill
Prince Albert’s Victoria Hospital didn’t want the public to know about a test of how its staff would respond to an Ebola scare until after it was over.
“We were testing how our staff would respond if somebody came in with something like Ebola,” said Doug Dahl, communications officer for Prince Albert Parkland Health Region.
The test was done without informing staff or physicians that it was a drill.
“We were just very careful about not letting people know it was a test until it was over,” Dahl explained.
