not revealed whether the patient recently returned from west africa. we now know how airports in virginia and maryland plan to handle people returning from west africa. in virginia anyone who arrives from liberia, sierra leone or guinea will have to sign an agreement they will monitor themselves for 21 days. everyone will be asked to take their temperature twice daily. and anyone who refuses could be involuntarily quarantined. the plan is largely the same in maryland except the travelers have to take their temperature four times a day. those considered high-risk will be required to stay home. the 5-year-old in new york who was showing ebola-like symptoms has tested negative for the deadly diase. >> he's still in isolation right now because more negative tests are required. meanwhile, the new york doctors who tested positive last week is in serious but stable condition. doctors say he's improving. the nurse who was forcibly quarantined in new jersey has
