We are continuing to observe and monitor the person who, following a high-risk exposure while working as a health care worker in Sierra Leone, was transported back to the United States in isolation via a chartered aircraft and admitted to the NIH Special Clinical Studies Unit. To date, this person has not tested positive for Ebola virus disease.
