New York’s governor addressed some of the concerns regarding the Ebola virus during an interview with CBS This Morning Tuesday.

Andrew Cuomo says the Ebola crisis is a medical and public health issue, as well as an issue of panic and anxiety among the public.

“The dialogue on Ebola is, it’s amazing how quickly panic can set in,” Cuomo told CBS’ Charlie Rose. “A little anxiety can be healthy, but we have to watch what we say, and how we say it, because panic is never productive.”

Cuomo says state officials are working to make sure hospitals have the right protocols and the right equipment, in case they have to receive a patient who has contracted Ebola.

“That, we’re working through,” Cuomo said.
