Oct. 13: The MOC Daily Rundown, First American to Contract Ebola Identified

Residents Quarantined In Dallas Apartment Where Ebola Patient Had Stayed

A health care worker at Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital Dallas, Pham became infected while treating Thomas Eric Duncan, who died from the virus days before the nurse’s diagnosis.
Pham graduated from TCU’s nursing program in 2010 and is the first person to contract the disease while in the Unites States.

“The existence of the first case of Ebola spread in the U.S. changes some things and it doesn’t change other things,” said Tom Frieden, director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, during a news conference Monday. “It doesn’t change the fact that we know how Ebola spreads. It doesn’t change the fact that it’s possible to take care of Ebola safely. But it does change substantially how we approach it.” (WFAA)
