Ebola Apartment Items Hauled Away to Be Destroyed
The items removed by a decontamination crew from the Dallas apartment
where an Ebola patient was staying have been hauled away for disposal.
Dallas city spokeswoman Sana Syed said that about 30 barrels were filled
Friday with items including bed sheets, towels and three mattresses
used by Ebola patient Thomas Eric Duncan before he was hospitalized.
They were hauled away Friday night.
She said that next, everything else in the house will be disposed of.
Duncan, who traveled to Dallas from Liberia last month, had been staying
in the apartment before being diagnosed. Officials moved four people
who had been quarantined there after Duncan's hospitalization to another
location Friday, and they left personal items behind.
Syed says the city and county will work with charities and volunteers to help the family refurnish their apartment.
