According to report from CNN, their is fear that

virus after one their citizens return home with the
virus, rea the news below.
CNN; A seriously ill American Ebola patient arrived
in his home country from Liberia late Saturday
morning, delivered in a specially equipped medical
plane on his way to an Atlanta hospital prepared
to treat the first-ever Ebola victim known to be on
U.S. soil.
An ambulance rushed Dr. Kent Brantly, one of two
Americans stricken by the deadly viral
hemorrhagic fever while helping with a major
outbreak in West Africa, from Georgia's Dobbins
Air Reserve Base to Atlanta's Emory University
Hospital shortly after the plane landed.
Emory has said it will treat Brantly, 33, and
eventually the other American -- fellow missionary
Nancy Writebol -- in a special isolation unit,
where physicians believe they'll have a better
chance to steer them back to health while
ensuring the virus doesn't spread.

quarantines self
Organizers expect the plane will return to Liberia
to pick up Writebol, and they hope she can be
brought to Georgia early next week, said Todd
Shearer, spokesman for Christian charity
Samaritan's Purse with whom both Americans
were affiliated.
Brantly, of Fort Worth, Texas, and Writebol, of
North Carolina, became sick while caring for Ebola
patients in Liberia, one of three West African
nations hit by an outbreak that health officials
believe has sickened more than 1,300 people and
killed more than 700 this year. http://www.chinedusamuel..com/2014/08/breaking-news-ebola-virus-now-in-us.html?m=1
