Maps: Who's Been Exposed To Ebola In The U.S. And Where They're Being Treated

This article is more than 9 years old.

The Ebola outbreak may still be capturing headlines and (unnecessarily) panicking Americans, but there's great news out of Dallas: Dozens of people who were exposed to Thomas Duncan, the nation's first Ebola patient, have gone through 21 days of quarantine and officially been cleared of having the deadly disease.

It's a reminder that even though Ebola can be incredibly infectious, it can be hard to catch the disease, especially in Ebola's early stages.

Ebola's Contagious But Also Hard To Catch. Confused? How To Understand

At the same time, more than a hundred people in Dallas are still being monitored for Ebola exposure. And hundreds of other people, including more than 100 co-passengers with an Ebola-stricken nurse on a plane last week, have either been notified or are being actively monitored for Ebola symptoms, too.

We've been tracking the Ebola outbreak on the Advisory Board Daily Briefing, with a specific eye on the implications for hospitals. (Here's our Ebola primer.)

Who's been exposed to Ebola, who's being monitored, and who's been cleared? My Daily Briefing colleagues Juliette Mullin and Christina Lin have prepared this graphic on the hundreds of people that CDC and health officials have monitored for potential Ebola exposure.

Meanwhile, four patients are currently being treated for Ebola — two nurses who contracted Ebola while treating Duncan at a Dallas hospital, and two Americans who were infected with Ebola while in Africa.

To ensure optimal treatment, and reduce the risk to other Americans, all four patients have been transferred to three U.S. facilities with special biocontainment units.

Here's a quick breakdown of who those patients currently are, as well as a check on their latest status.

We've also mapped out where those patients are, too.
