Lebanon health officials said they have quarantined a Lebanese man suspected of having Ebola after he arrived from West Africa. It is the first suspected case in the country.

The Lebanese man reported himself to the hospital after fearing he was displaying symptoms of the disease, minister Wael Abou Faour told The Associated Press. The man is said to have arrived from West Africa three days ago.

"We have a suspected (Ebola) case, and it's still under medical care. Once we have a result, we will announce it," Abou Faour said.

The man is being cared for at Beirut's Rafic Hariri hospital, which has a special unit for diseases like Ebola.

Thousands of Lebanese live in West African nations, including Guinea, Liberia and Sierra Leone. All plans arriving from those West African countries are being diverted to one runway and checked for symptoms of the disease.

The Associated Press-GfK poll found 8 out of 10 Americans were in favor of sending medical aid to Ebola-stricken countries and increasing government funding to develop vaccines and treatments.

The poll also found most American have some confidence in the U.S. health care system to prevent Ebola from spreading in the U.S. but less confidence in local hospitals ability to handle a patient.

The poll was conducted over four days involving interviews with over 1,600 adults through a random selection using phone or mail survey methods.

Four hundred of the 1,600 respondents said they were very confident at the U.S. health care system to prevent Ebola from spreading widely, and 40 percent were moderately confident.

But 800 said they didn't think local hospitals could safely treat Ebola patients, and only 31 percent were moderately confident.

"It seems to me we have a crisis of two things. We have a crisis of science, and either people don't understand it or ... they don't believe it," said Dr. Joseph McCormick, an Ebola expert at the University Of Texas School Of Public Health. "We have a crisis in confidence in government."

Ninety-three percent of Americans think training doctors and nurses at local hospitals is necessary to deal with Ebola with nearly all of them, 78 percent, seeing it as a definite need.

The CDC has informed hospitals they should use full-body protective gear and follow rules in removing samples and equipment to avoid contamination.

The third Ebola patient, the NBC freelance journalist, Ashoka Mukpo was released after 16 days of treatment at the Nebraska Medical Center's biocontainment unit. It was the same place that treated Dr. Rick Sacra, a medical missionary last month, according to Omaha World Herald.

For his treatment Mukpo was given IV nutrition -- high amounts of glucose, amino acids and fatty acids -- while receiving plasma from an Ebola survivor and an investigational antiviral drug.

Mukpo was hired as a cameraman by NBC News a day before he started feeling ill and was flown to Omaha from Liberia on Oct. 6.

"Today is a joyful day for my family and I," Mukpo wrote in a statement. "[I'm] aware of the global inequalities that allowed me to be flown to an American hospital when so many Liberians die alone with minimal care."
