Soldier who flew to Africa isolated at Ft. Benning due to high temperature

A soldier who recently traveled to Nigeria has been isolated at Fort Benning after officials said he had a high temperature.

Fort Benning is located just south of Columbus, GA, which is just over 100 miles southwest of Atlanta.

Officials said that the soldier was given vaccines that could have caused his rise in temperature, and they do not believe he has Ebola.

He was isolated as a precaution, and there is no confirmed case of Ebola.

The U.S. Army post was not locked down or evacuated, according to officials.
