DALLAS — A woman who was being monitored for possible exposure to the Ebola virus was reported ill at the Dallas Area Rapid Transit White Rock Station Saturday afternoon.
DART spokesman Morgan Lyons said the person fell ill with a low-grade fever at the station in Northeast Dallas after deciding that her quarantine period was over.
Lyons said the woman is believed to be a resident of the Ivy Apartments, where Ebola “patient zero” Thomas Eric Duncan became ill after traveling to the U.S. from Liberia.
Dallas Fire-Rescue hazardous materials teams were dispatched to the station at 7333 East Northwest Highway, which serves the Blue Line light rail along with connecting bus routes. Emergency personnel were wearing protective gear.
DART said White Rock Station would be closed to bus and rail service until further notice; trains scheduled to stop at the station will not stop there.
