Two patients are being monitored by a communicable disease nurse in Mecklenburg County for Ebola.
County officials say they have been to one of three countries in West Africa experiencing an outbreak of the illness.
According to Mecklenburg County, they had no known contact with anyone diagnosed with Ebola. They are considered low-risk but will record and report their temperatures every day for 21 days.
The county says people will be notified immediately if any Ebola case is confirmed.
There haven’t been any confirmed cases of Ebola in a North Carolina patient. Dr. Kent Brantly and volunteer Nancy Writebol were among the first patients diagnosed. They worked with locally based organizations SIM and Samaritan’s Purse.

Are you aware of any people disappearing who have been symptomatic for Ebola?
Only rumors. I suspect we will find out after the elections.
Thanks.
