The ebola scare struck a Southwestern College in California, Chula Vista. The school immediately evacuated some of its campus when a student who vomited in class informed an instructor that her sister, who had visited Midwest last week, was admitted to the hospital, because she showed flu-like symptoms, according to nbcsandiego.com.

The student admitted that she had shared a flight from Ohio to Dallas with Amber Vinson, a nurse at Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital. Amber had recently been diagnosed with the dreaded Ebola virus after treating Thomas Eric Duncan, according to nydailynews. Immediately, the school officials shut down part of the building, isolated the student and put seven others into a quarantined area. A nurse was rushed in to treat the students. Students and faculty members confirmed that they were all told to leave the building. About eight students were held in a hallway, according to a teacher. Some students in Building 470 were evacuated, while other classes continued. However, no flu-like symptoms were detected in the student when she was examined later, school officials said.

A message was sent to the San Diego County Department of Health and Human Services. The college began to put a message together for the public, and will update the social media so that the information will become public to benefit everybody. The university was following the guidelines that also meant that they should contact the officials as well as Chula Vista Police and Chula Vista Fire, according to the school sources. However, the college spokeswoman Lillian Leopold told KUSI-TV that there was no ebola virus in the college. "We have a communication problem," she told nydailynews.

It is important to note that ebola, which overpowered a Liberian man in Texas last week can be transmitted only through contact with blood or other bodily fluids. It has taken more than 4,000 people in West Africa.

Southwestern College posted in Facebook that they have taken a precaution about a student whose family member was hospitalized due to flu-like symptoms. The Campus Police has cordoned off the 470 area and the County Department of Health has been called and is judging the situation. Images posted by students showed that a large number of them were on campus, though they stood outside the building. The ebola virus does seem to have created an outbreak in Facebook and Twitter, at least!
