cdc to say look, we have someone displaying symptoms that look like ebola. now, there's been a very, veryin finish tess mal percentage that have turned out to be ebola. and what they're doing today represents a measure of well-warranted caution. of all the patients seen here daily, there's only one that has generated such concern. the hospital identifies the patient only as someone who has recently traveled to nigeria and has displayed symptoms that look like ebola symptoms. a written statement from the hospital says in part, an abundance of caution, we have activated the appropriate infection control protocols, including isolating the patient. early on, this is not much more than that officially. but anecdotally, a lot of concern. >> this is actually something that shouldn't be taken lightly. >> reporter: still others say, while they are comforted that the proper steps are being taken to protect the public, should the patient be found to even have ebola, they're more worried they found out literally from

word on the street. >> i'm walking up georgia avenue, there may be an ebola case in my hospital. i appreciate that. >> reporter: howard university hospital also says the hospital is working with the centers for disease control and prevention, and the d.c. department of health. at best, what they can do at this stage is monitor the patient. at best, what those who live or regularly visit the campus can do is be vigilant. >> i think it's very important to any faculty of the university to take the right precautions to protect themselves and be knowledgeable about the situation going on today. >> reporter: and the d.c. department of health tells us they are indeed aware of this. they are monitoring this, and as we have been stressing, there is nothing wrong with stressing this again, there has been no confirmed case of the ebola virus in the district of columb columbia. derrick ward, news4. back to you. the parents of a freelance photographer working for nbc news who tested positive for ebola say their son is in good

spirits. ashoka mukpo was working with dr. nancy snyderman in liberia. right now he is only showing mild symptoms. but his parents told tamron hall on the "today" show this morning that they are anxious to have him back in the u.s. >> he's been filming what's happening in liberia for two weeks, and seeing the death and tragedy. and now it's really hit home for him. but his spirits are better today. he knows he's going to come home. he knows he has a couple more days. >> reporter: mukpo will be brought back to the u.s. sunday for treatment. the entire nbc news team he was working with is also on its way home and will be quarantined for 21 days as a precaution. specialized hazmat crews are cleaning up the apartment where an obowl patient stayed in dallas, texas, before he was hospitalized. the crew spent three hours at thom at thomas duncan's apartment to be taken to a skier secure

severe headache. muscle pain. vomiting. diarrhea. stomach pain and sometimes unexplained bleeding or hemorrhage. of the other key risk factors, travel within the last 21 days to a country with an ebola outbreak. liberia, sierra leone or begin knee or contact with a patient suspected of having the virus. to put perspective on this, these are the first possible cases in d.c., but other cities across the country have dealt with this. the cdc says it has looked into 100 possible cases of ebola between july 27 and wednesday of this week. of those 100, just 15 have warranted testing because they met the profile and the symptoms were consistent. and of those 15 who tested, just 1 tested positive for the ebola virus. that would be the guy in dallas. keep in mind, and we can't say this enough. ebola is not airborne. you cannot catch it in an airborne manner.

you can only get it by coming into close contact with an infected person's bodily fluids. blood and urine included. no symptoms, the person is not contagious. jim? pat? >> doreen, thank you. and stay with us on-air for all the latest developments on the ebola outbreak and potential threat here in the u.s. and remember, you can get updates any time on nbcwashington.com. well, rain is set to move in, folks, and some spots will have wind chills near freezing. i said it. freezing over the weekend. >> ooh. storm team 4 meteorologist veronica johnson is here to explain when the big chill moves in. >> the big chill second half of the weekend. so you get some time to get your clothes together. the long sleeves, the warm clothes. right now, though, an umbrella you're going oh to need if you step out. let me show where the rain is. this is the rain we have been talking about all week long, and what i like is the fact that it has been overcast today. not seeing thunderstorms. but look at that line. it's off of i-81 right now. where it has been wet.

these stations are going to be shut down for seven consecutive weekends, because of what metro is calling an unmanageable problem. the view under the medical center station, not pretty. on a sunny day, water, mud, dirt, debris, constantly seeping down from the rock here, which has too many fractures to count. metro is trying to patch it up, but it's become too much. the result, all of the important infrastructure on the ground is getting corroded and worn out constantly, costing metro 3 million bucks a year just to keep fixing this section of the system. >> we're spending a significant amount of money, time and effort, which we would much rather put somewhere else. >> reporter: so now metro has called in engineering and transportation experts from all over the world to come up with this, a plan to stop the leaks. deputy general manager and rail chief, rob troop, sat down with news4 to explain it all. >> what we'll be doing is we'll be putting in basically -- it's like a false roof where we'll be

able to come in with these precast panels. precast panels will interlock. >> reporter: one by one, those precast concrete panels will be lifted into place, a slow and tedious process. the reach w reason will metro will have to close for seven consecutive weekends. that work will happen in 2016, but metro has to get ready for the work right now, which means some closures up until that point. >> what we're doing is trying to really get, you know, to red line to where it's rehabbed correctly. >> reporter: but it could have been worse as news4 first reported, metro was considering closing this section of the red line for six straight weeks. metro says the new plan will minimize the impact. okay. so the shutdown plans are coming together. but metro actually has much bigger plans for these three stations while the closures are in place. hear about that next hour at 6:00. reporting live at medical center, adam tuss, news4. a grand jury connected to the lyon sisters cold case convened for its first day in
