CDC Didn't Monitor Anyone Who Came in Contact With Duncan at Hospital: The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) was not actively monitoring anyone who came in contact with Thomas Eric Duncan, the Liberian man who brought Ebola into the U.S., subsequent to September 28. The health care worker who tested positive for Ebola after caring for Duncan was only "self monitoring" for symptoms.
Only 48 individuals who may have come in contact with Duncan prior to his being admitted to the hosptial were being monitored by health officials. That group of 48 did not include people who came in contact with Duncan after he checked into Dallas' Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital on September 28.
