(FOXNEWS) — The White House’s Ebola czar is expected to leave after his 130-day assignment, with the deadly virus now appearing under control in the United States.
The news that Ron Klain, a veteran Democratic operative and fixer, would leave was reported first on Saturday by Fortune Magazine and confirmed by Fox News.
Klain was appointed by President Obama in mid-October after the first Ebola death in the U.S. sparked widespread concerns about such issues as medical protocol and an outbreak of the virus on American soil.
The outbreak of the virus this year in West Africa has killed thousands in that region.
