Texas Ebola patient may have had contact with 100 people

On Tuesday, officials reported the first case of Ebola in the United States. Despite initial reports of this being an isolated incident, officials now say the patient may have had contact with "about 100" people.

“We are working from a list of about 100 potential or possible contacts and will soon have an official contact tracing number that will be lower,” Texas Department of State Health Services spokeswoman Carrie Williams said in a statement.

The Washington Post reports none of Thomas Eric Duncan's contacts reached by the Centers for Disease Control have shown symptoms so far.

Duncan traveled from Liberia to the U.S., changing planes at the Brussels airport and at the Dulles International Airport in the Washington, D.C., area, before arriving in Dallas on Sept. 20.

He began experiencing symptoms four days later, according to the Post.
