Another Liberian Man Arrives New Jersey 'Showing Symptoms Of Ebola'

Newark Liberty International Airport was thrown into panic after a passenger believed to be from Liberia showed symptoms of Ebola. The man traveling with his daughter on a United Airlines flight from Brussels was reported vomiting as they landed in New Jersey at 1.50pm. They were both removed from the plane by a CDC crew in full Hazmat attire.

The remaining passengers have now been allowed to leave after being forced to stay on the plane then wait in immigration. Despite reports claiming the passenger was found to be noncontagious after initial examinations, the New York and New Jersey Port Authority told MailOnline the passenger was not cleared at the airport and has since been taken to hospital.

'Upon arrival at Newark Airport from Brussels, medical professionals instructed that customers and crew of United flight 988 remain on board until they could assist an ill customer,' the statement said.

'We are working with authorities and will accommodate our customers as quickly as we can.'
Welsh passenger Paul Chard tweeted a picture of immigration officials on board the plane, adding: 'Drama on the flight from BRU, pax taken off by CDC, we are stuck on the plane, Immigration staff now on!'

Thomas Duncan's condition has today been classed as 'critical' as he is treated for the disease in Dallas, Texas. Ten people linked to him have been classed as 'high risk'.

Dr Anthony Fauci, a director at the National Institutes of Health, insisted to reporters at the White House that although it 'may be entirely conceivable' that there would be another Ebola case in the United States, the strength of the healthcare infrastructure 'would make it extraordinarily unlikely that we would have an outbreak.'

Authorities have narrowed their focus to about 50 people who had direct or indirect contact with the infected Liberian visitor, including 10 at high risk who are being checked twice daily for symptoms.
