FORT WORTH, Texas (AP) — In the days after the first diagnosis of Ebola in the U.S., the head of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention was resolute in his confidence about hospitals’ ability to manage the virus.

Dr. Tom Frieden said almost every hospital in the country can take care of Ebola, provided health care workers have the right training and materials.

Now Frieden says the government wasn’t aggressive enough in containing the virus as it spread from an infected patient to a Dallas nurse. He says the CDC could have sent a more robust team and been more hands-on with hospital staff once Ebola was diagnosed here.

Frieden also has outlined new steps designed to stop the spread of the disease, including the creation of an Ebola response team.
