AKRON (AP and WLWT) —A health official says at least eight people in northeast Ohio are quarantined and being monitored because they had contact with a Texas nurse who was diagnosed with Ebola after visiting the area. Three schools have also been closed as a precaution
The Summit County Public Health medical director says the group includes five people in her county. Two are in Cuyahoga County, which includes Cleveland.
The nurse, 29-year old Amber Vinson, visited family in the Akron area last weekend, then flew from Cleveland to Dallas on Monday.
Vinson had treated the Liberian man who died of the disease in a Dallas hospital.
“I think she was aware of what she had been through in Dallas, and so while she was here she was very careful around her family and anybody else that she was in contact (with),” said Gene Nixon, the county’s health commissioner.
Summit County health officials said Thursday that Vinson did visit a retail store to shop for bridesmaid dresses.
