Up to 100 people in Texas are believed to have had contact with Ebola patient Thomas Eric Duncan as the patient’s quarantined girlfriend said today she has not been told by authorities what to do with the infected man’s sweat-soaked bedclothes which remain in her home.
Mr Duncan’s partner, Louise, told CNN that she has been legally ordered to stay inside her Dallas apartment with her 13-year-old child and two nephews, who are both in their twenties, as they came in direct contact with the patient while he was contagious.
None of the four people quarantined are showing Ebola symptoms but Louise, who works as a home healthcare aide, has been taking the group’s temperature every hour.
The CDC has not told the mother what to do with Mr Duncan’s sweat-soaked sheets and pillows which remain in the home. She has placed the towels he used in plastic bags and cleaned up with bleach.-CNN
