An Oregon woman is currently being tested for Ebola after showing symptoms of the deadly disease.

The woman, who has not been identified, was under observation after recently traveling to an Ebola-affected country. However, she reportedly had a high temperature and was placed in isolation at the Providence-Milwaukie Hospital in Milwaukie, a suburb located about 20 miles south of Portland, reports the Los Angeles Times.

The Oregon Health Authority also released a statement that said the woman is not a danger to the public, according to Reuters.

According to John Turner, a spokesman for the Centers For Disease Control and Prevention, the CDC has been made aware of the incident, although there is no confirmation on whether a team had been dispatched to Oregon.

"Local health departments, hospitals, health care providers, and first responders have been working together to ensure the state is prepared, and earlier this week, health officials and I outlined protocols for just this type of situation," Oregon Gov. John Kitzhaber said in a statement released on Friday. "The protocols are intended to both protect the health and safety of Oregonians and get people the care they need."

The Pentagon also announced on Friday that civilian U.S. defense employees who travel to West Africa to aid in the Ebola relief effort are required to undergo monitoring in order to ensure that they are healthy. However, they have the right to choose to either follow civil health guidelines or a stricter military regimen.

Earlier this month, 33-year-old Dr. Craig Spencer tested positive for the deadly virus and was placed in isolation at a Manhattan hospital. He contacted authorities when he began showing symptoms of Ebola weeks after returning from Guinea, where he worked with Doctors Without Borders and treated Ebola patients.

He currently remains hospitalized in New York City at the Bellevue Hospital Center.
