Looks like they are distributing these folks all over....
MEDFORD, Ore.– Jackson County Health Officials just announced they are monitoring a person for Ebola symptoms. They said the person recently returned from Africa, but did not have any contact with an Ebola patient. They said the person is low-risk and currently not showing any symptoms. These procedures are standard for anyone returning from the affected areas.
Tune into Newswatch 12 this evening for more details into who this patient is, and plans to treat this Jackson County case.

PORTLAND, Ore. (KOIN 6) — Five people, none of who are showing any symptoms for the disease, are being monitored for Ebola.,
At a Sunday afternoon press conference held to announce a Portland-area woman being tested for Ebola at Providence Health Milwaukie tested negative for the virus, Oregon Public Health Division State Epidemiologist and State Health Officer Dr. Katrina Hedberg said.
“That does not mean that any of them have symptoms but rather that they have been in the affected part of west Africa in the last 21 days and are getting twice daily monitoring for fever or temperature,” she said.
Hedberg said none of the people being monitored pose any risk to spreading Ebola. Furthermore, health officials knew about the woman whose negative test result was announced today prior to her hospitalization.
The majority of people returning to Oregon from Ebola-affected regions fall into what Hedberg called the “low-risk category.”
Persons designated to be low-risk are those who have been to a country affected by Ebola, but have not had any direct contact with the disease.
She said Oregon’s health care system will also likely see patients in what officials call the “some-risk” category, such as health care workers.
“Very Firm”
Multnomah County Tri-Cities health officer Paul Lewis said officials are “very firm” the patient does not have Ebola, but lab testing is just one indicator of the disease.
Providence Chief Executive Officer Dave Underriner said officials are “very pleased and relieved” the patient tested negative for the disease. She will continue to be monitored.
A five-person core team was dedicated to treat the patient, one of whom was suited in personal protective equipment the entire time.
