Sources are saying Lively was transported in the ambulance after Thomas Duncan, the Ebola patient in Texas. The ambulance was in operation for 48 hours after transporting Duncan.
Via CBS:
DALLAS – Authorities in Dallas are trying to locate a homeless person who might have had contact with the lone Ebola patient diagnosed in the U.S.
Dallas County Judge Clay Lewis Jenkins didn’t identify the person, whom he described as a “low-risk individual identified as a contact.” He stressed that the effort to locate the person was precautionary and that the person had not committed a crime.
“We are working to locate the individual and get him to a comfortable, compassionate place where we can monitor him and care for his every need for the full incubation period,” Jenkins said.
CBS Dallas reporter J.D. Miles tweeted that officials described him as a “panhandler.”
Update:
They found him and took him to a different hospital from the other patient. Of course, meanwhile he’s been freely walking around for days.
