Rumors have been circulating through social media regarding a potential
Ebola case in Mesa County. This rumor is false. Mesa County Health Department
wants to assure everyone there is no Ebola in our region or in the state of
Colorado.
We encourage the media and the public to promptly contact Mesa County Health
Department for up-to-date information as we strive to keep our community
well-informed.

It is the role of Mesa County Health Department to monitor and control
the spread of communicable diseases, which includes Ebola. We will continue to
work with local and state partners to monitor Ebola developments and will provide
regular updates depending on the magnitude of the situation.
