The head of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has said that anyone who cared for Dallas Ebola victim Thomas Eric Duncan, a Liberian national, at Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital could be at risk of contracting the disease.
The admission by Dr. Tom Frieden following news that one of Duncan’s caregivers, 26-year-old RN Nina Pham, has become infected despite wearing protective clothing and gear, was alarming to many.
“We are deeply concerned about this new development,” Frieden said October 12, the day he announced that Pham had tested positive for the virus. She has become the first victim of a person-to-person transmission of the disease in the U.S.
“We now consider all of the healthcare workers who cared for the index patient potentially to have been exposed, and we’ll be rostering those individuals and determining which require active follow-up in addition to their self-monitoring,” Frieden told CBS’s Face the Nation.
