A second Texas health worker who tested positive for Ebola after caring for a man killed by the virus in Dallas flew to Cleveland and back before reporting she had symptoms of the deadly disease.
U.S. officials are now tracking 132 others who were on the the Frontier Airlines flight used by the woman. The flight and the back-to-back caregiver infections, the second of which was reported this morning, open new questions about oversight lapses by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and bring new emphasis to criticisms by a nurses’ group about the safety precautions in use.
