Ebola response has been controversial in Dallas and on the East Coast. On Tuesday, Los Angeles officials are taking steps to avoid some of that controversy locally.
Responding to a request from Congressman Maxine Waters (D-Calif.), whose district includes LAX, public health officials have slated a Tuesday afternoon briefing where local mayors will detail plans for confronting any Ebola cases. The briefing will be followed by a news conference.
Waters said the event will include representatives of the L.A. County Department of Public Health, the City of Los Angeles, the Los Angeles World Airports, the Centers for Disease Control, the U.S.
