Minnesota sets up Ebola hotline

ST. PAUL — Minnesotans with questions about Ebola can call a newly established hotline.

The state Health Department on Tuesday established a hotline at (651) 201-3920 or (800) 657-3903.

“Minnesota’s best defense against Ebola is access to reliable information and resources,” Gov. Mark Dayton said. “This hotline will provide Minnesotans a reliable point of contact for any questions or concerns they have about this disease.”

The line will be staffed during regular business hours, from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., Monday through Friday. A translation service for people who do not speak English is available.
