The Ebola patient was named today as Thomas Eric Duncan (pictured), a Liberian national who had traveled to Dallas, Texas, from Liberia on September 20 to visit family. Dallas Independent School District Superintendent Mike Miles said on Wednesday the children who came in contact with Mr Duncan are showing no symptoms and are now being monitored at home. As an added precaution, Miles says additional health and custodial staff will be at the high, middle and two elementary schools – the students attend.
