DALLAS, Texas – A person who claims to have had contact with the Dallas man, Thomas Duncan, who died of Ebola Wednesday is now ‘exhibiting signs and symptoms of Ebola’ according to an official.

The emergency dispatch center in the Dallas suburb of Frisco received a called from a Care Now medical facility reporting the patient just after noon on Wednesday.

Dana Baird with the city of Frisco said firefighter-paramedics were in the process of transporting the patient to a Dallas hospital.

“They are also in the process of examining clinical staff and other facility patrons,” wrote Baird in a statement to the media. “That number other people impacted is unknown. “

A news conference is now scheduled for 3:30pm local time in Texas.
