Schools and hospitals are on lock-down across Cleveland after it emerged the second US nurse to contract Ebola spent time in the city.

Amber Jay Vinson, 29, already had a fever when she traveled home to Ohio to plan her wedding and visit her mother last Friday, despite being one of the 76 medical workers from Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital under observation by the Centers for Disease Control.

She had treated Thomas Eric Duncan, the Ebola ‘patient zero’. Health officials say she was told she was at risk for exposure to the disease but boarded a Frontier Airlines flight regardless.

The news has prompted high schools and medical centers to send home staff and students amid fears that they could have come into contact with Vinson.

And the Ohio Department of Health has now ordered anyone who had contact with Amber Vinson to go into a mandatory quarantine for 21 days.
