WORRY IN TEXAS: “US Ebola patient had contact with school children

It was reported earlier this week that the US diagnosed its first case of Ebola in Texas but reports now indicate that it might just get messier.

The governor of Texas has said that "school-age children" are being monitored after having contact with the patient.

Speaking to a press conference this afternoon in Dallas, Governor Rick Perry said: "Today we learned that some school-age children have been confirmed as having had contact with the patient,"
 He said the kids were being monitored at home.

The children are among 12-18 people who are being monitored, including the ambulance crew who transported the man, after exposure.

A health official at the same press conference said the patient was in a serious but stable condition on Wednesday.

The unidentified man has been in isolation at Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital in Dallas since Sunday.
