Health officials in both Alamance and Guilford counties said Wednesday that they are monitoring seven people who recently traveled to West Africa for possible symptoms of Ebola.
Officials said the individuals are not exhibiting symptoms, had no known contact with any Ebola patients and did not work in a health care facility. Their genders, ages, names, locations and specific places of travel were not released.
“This is active monitoring, and the individuals’ only risk is that they traveled from an affected country,” Alamance County Health Department director Stacie R. Turpin Saunders said in a statement about five people her county is monitoring.
