Ebola Patient’s Relatives Moved out of Dallas Apartment after Delay

HeadlineOct 06, 2014

On Friday, four members of Duncan’s family were finally moved out of the apartment where Duncan had been staying. The relatives had been forced to remain there under quarantine. But the sheets and dirty towels used by Duncan remained inside, as authorities struggled to find a company to take them and no federal officials intervened. Dallas County Judge Clay Jenkins said the family has been moved to a private residence made available by a donor.

Judge Clay Jenkins: “They are good people, kind people, people who care about their community, and they’re obviously worried about their own health. They’re concerned about your health, as well. And our hope is that they can have some peace and that they can be left alone for a few days, at least, in that undisclosed location. And our hope is that the people who live around the apartment complex that they were in, that their lives can get back to normal.”
