Planes carrying Ebola patient were later in Chicago
The planes that carried a passenger later diagnosed with Ebola were in Chicago days after dropping him off, according to a report by ABC 7's Chuck Goudie.
On his way back from Liberia, Thomas Eric Duncan flew on a United Boeing 777 from Brussels, Belgium, to Washington Dulles International Airport. He then took a United Airbus 320 from Dulles to Dallas.
Since then, the Boeing 777 was in Chicago on Sept. 29 and the Airbus 320 was in the Windy City on Sept. 26-28, according to ABC 7. It was also scheduled to be in Chicago Thursday.
According to a United online news release, the director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has said "there is 'zero risk of transmission' on any flight on which the patient flew because he was not symptomatic until several days after his trip and could not have been contagious on the dates he traveled."
