Fire crews were dispatched, and both the operating room and emergency room areas were evacuated and closed. The rest of the hospital was safe, the spokesperson said.
After conducting several tests, the hospital deemed that whatever was there this morning is no long there, the spokesperson said.
Investigators are working to determine the cause of the mysterious symptoms.
The next step is to thoroughly clean the building the, but it is unclear when the operating room and emergency room areas will reopen.
The Exeter Police Department urged residents and local fire departments via Twitter to not bring new patients to Exeter Hospital due to the evacuation.
