Health workers in HazMat suits swarmed a Pentagon parking lot Friday to treat a woman suffering from Ebola-like symptoms and who said she had recently traveled to western Africa, where the virus has killed more than 4,400 people.

The lot and surrounding area, in Arlington County and near a heavily traveled main commuter corridor in Washington, DC, was shut down to traffic in an abundance of caution, officials said.
