Zachary Thompson, Director of Dallas County Health and Human Services, broke the news on Wednesday, that someone closely associated with the man confirmed as having the disease, is being monitored for the deadly Ebola.
“Let me be real frank to the Dallas County residents: The fact that we have one confirmed case, there may be another case that is a close associate with this particular patient. So this is real. There should be a concern, but it’s contained to the specific family members and close friends at this moment.”
Yesterday, the Director of the CDC confirmed that a man who recently traveled from Liberia has the first case of Ebola and is currently in isolation at a Texas facility.
