On Monday morning, Miami Beach Mayor Philip Levine said that a test performed on the boy by a Florida Department of Health lab came back negative for Ebola. He added that another sample is being sent to the Centers for Disease Control in Atlanta for confirmation.

Though it was a huge scare from Miami Beach to Miami, officials called it a good dry run. "Thank God it was negative," said Levine during a news conference on Monday. "Of course, as you know, that the greater verification at the CDC in the next two or three days."

MIAMI (WSVN) -- A boy under the age of 18 who traveled to South Florida from West Africa and fell ill with flu-like symptoms has tested negative for Ebola.

On Monday morning, Miami Beach Mayor Philip Levine said that a test performed on the boy by a Florida Department of Health lab came back negative for Ebola. He added that another sample is being sent to the Centers for Disease Control in Atlanta for confirmation.

Though it was a huge scare from Miami Beach to Miami, officials called it a good dry run. "Thank God it was negative," said Levine during a news conference on Monday. "Of course, as you know, that the greater verification at the CDC in the next two or three days."

The boy was admitted to Mount Sinai Medical Center, Sunday around 3 a.m., then transferred to Holtz Children's Hospital in Miami around 14 hours later. Doctors at both hospitals said they took every necessary safety precaution.

According to a source, the child was reportedly visiting South Florida and was in the area for some time. The source added that it was unlikely the child's illness was Ebola.

Around 3:30 p.m., at Miami Beach Fire Station No. 2, crews in Hazmat suits covered an ambulance with plastic in order to transport the child to the emergency room at Holtz Children's Hospital, located near Jackson Memorial Hospital. "We suited up for a worst-case scenario," said Miami Beach Fire Rescue Chief Virgil Hernandez.

Crews said, in the hour leading to the child's transport, authorities and officials were spotted gearing up in Hazmat suits and surgical face masks to prepare for the patient's arrival, which took place around 5 p.m. "We look at everything being a potential danger," said Fernandez, "so we wanted to make sure to, not only did we keep the patient's well-being, the community's well-being, but also our first responders and the hospital personnel's well-being in mind."

The emergency room entrance was even blocked off by several police officers from several agencies, as the boy arrived. Miami Fire Rescue Capt. Ignatius Carroll said, "Working with our law enforcement, they cordoned off an area to make it safe for the patients, or the surrounding area for bystanders, as well as allowing rescuers to get in and do what they need to do."

Immediately after he was admitted, health officials mopped up the floor. "If there were to be anything above and beyond a general sickness, we needed to be able to protect our residents and our tourists, and all the teams worked well together to make sure they were in place," Levine said.

Jackson Health System spokesperson Edwin O'Dell released a statement which read, "Jackson has been publicly forthcoming in asserting our confidence and readiness, and that we have established and tested protocols to deal with infectious diseases in general and with Ebola in specific. We will do everything to ensure safety and treatment for all of our patients. Jackson takes patient privacy seriously and will not release information without consent."

Sunday at the Miami-Dade Health Department in Doral, Miami Beach Mayor Philip Levine was briefed by health officials. He told 7News it was highly unlikely the child has Ebola. "We have a young person on vacation with his family who didn't feel good in the middle of the night, was admitted to Mount Sinai," he said. "It's highly unlikely that there's anything more here than a flu, but we want to be very proactive, very progressive."

Miami Beach (CBSMiami) – A sick child from West Africa has been taken to Jackson Memorial Hospital out of a precaution due to flu-like symptoms. 

West African child hospitalized locally amid Ebola concerns

Posted: Oct 05, 2014 5:14 PM EDT 

MIAMI BEACH, Fla. (WSVN) -- 

A sick person under the age of 18 who traveled to the U.S. from West Africa has been admitted to two South Florida hospitals Sunday, sources said.

According to a source, the child was reportedly visiting South Florida and was in the area for some time. The source added that it is unlikely the child's illness is Ebola.

The patient was admitted to Mount Sinai Medical Center around 3 a.m., where doctors said they are not taking any chances and taking every precaution.

Around 3:30 p.m., Miami Beach Fire Rescue crews, some of whom were wearing hazmat suits, prepared an ambulance, reportedly to transport the child to Holtz Children's Hospital, near Jackson Memorial Hospital in Miami. He reportedly arrived there around 5 p.m.

Crews said, in the hour leading to the child's transport, authorities and officials were spotted gearing up in hazmat suits to prepare for the patient's arrival.

At Miami-Dade Health Department in Doral, health officials are expected to release more information about the child and his condition.

Miami Beach Mayor Philip Levine told 7News it is highly unlikely the child has Ebola. "We have a young person on vacation with his family who didn't feel good in the middle of the night, was admitted to Mount Sinai, and the abundance of caution, everything we do ... to make sure we're checking everything," he said.

"It's highly unlikely that there's anything more here than a flu," Levine continued, "but we want to be very proactive, very progressive."

Levine declined to give any more details about the child's symptoms, but said, "From what we have been told from the Florida Department of Health and the [Centers for Disease Control], very, very, extremely low risk."

Speaking with 7News on Wednesday, Dr. Abdul Memon, Chief Medical Officer for Disaster and Emergency Preparedness at JMH, said, "It is possible in the long run, there may be a couple of [local Ebola] cases."

However, Memon stressed there is no need to worry, saying he is prepared for such a scenario. "This is the hospital's gear," he said as he took the protective clothing from plastic bags.

Medical staff dealing with potential Ebola patients would be requited to put on a gown that no liquid can pass through. Goggles cover their eyes and masks go over their noses and mouths. Even their shoes are covered to prevent infection.

Memon said all patients coming into his emergency room and trauma center are asked their travel history. If they say they have been to an Ebola-plagued country, they will be screened for the virus.

Ancient Roman temple discovered in Miami?

June 13, 2014   Our Crave   13 Comments

How did an ancient Roman building appear in Miami? Miami, FL - An ancient structure was just discovered behind the Olympia Theater in Downtown Miami, and it appears to have many classical Roman characteristics. While the news is mind-boggling enough that the stone building was unearthed in the heart of urban Miami, what is harder to believe  is the fact that the Vikings might not have been the first Europeans to discover the Americas. This find will change everything we know about modern

Miami Downtown-Hi Speed Rail-More congestion

MIAMI (WSVN) -- Officials have revealed plans for a future express rail service between South Florida and Orlando.

The project by All Aboard Florida will bring a high-speed rail from Miami to Orlando and points in between, including stops in Fort Lauderdale and West Palm Beach.

WSVN-TV - 7NEWS Miami Ft. Lauderdale News, Weather, Deco

(Unintentional photo bomb at 1:58 lol)

V"This will be a game changer for Downtown and also for Overtown," said Regalado. "The mixed-use project in Overtown will bring development to Overtown as we have never seen."

Gimenez said, "If you look up and down the line, there are thousands of new jobs created by this project, a great number here in Miami-Dade County."

Construction in Downtown Miami is expected to be completed at the earliest by 2015.

.........................

We might get 6 commuter rail stations

Eastern Miami-Dade might become home to six train stations if work on a commuter rail chugs forward and Tri-Rail Coastal Link begins service in 2020 as planned.  

One of the stations would be in downtown Miami, and it would be the joint southernmost station for the Tri-Rail Coastal Link and All Aboard Florida, an express passenger rail that would link Miami to Orlando. All Aboard Florida, a subsidiary of Coral Gables-headquartered Florida East Coast Industries LLC, promises travel time of about three hours.
