ali gorman is here at the big board. >> reporter: so many people travel now, many experts were not surprised that a patient was diagnosed in the u.s. with ebola, what happened in texas, could happen anywhere. that is why most medical centers in texas have plans in place, i got a look at some plans at a local hospital today. at jefferson university hospital, dr. kathleen squires an infectious disease expert says protocol is set. if a patient comes in with possible ebola symptoms, asking where it's patient has been is vital. the patient in dallas is reported to have told a nurse he was in liberia, the first time he was scene but that was not passed on but it wasn't until two days later he was put in isolation. health officials say they are monitoring 12 to 18 people, including five children that the patient may have had contact with, when he had symptoms and was contagious, ebola is not easily spread. >> this is not spread through the air, not an infection that could be contracted by casual contact meaning being in the same room. >> she says that ebola is spread through bodily fluids and if th

ali gorman is live now at the big board with more on the developments. >> reporter: this is a portion of screening form they are talking about. this is the question, did you provide direct care to any person with ebola while the patient was sick. they say he helped a sick woman in noo a taxi or lived with someone that was sick. but we don't know that he knew he had contact with someone that had confirmed ebola. he did not have a fever when he left liberia. thomas eric duncan remains in isolation at a dallas hospital and now his family is ordered to stay home with no visitors for 21 days, the patient may have had contact with up to 100 people. they include ambulance, and hospital staff, friends and family, including five children duncan is related to. none of these contacts have symptoms but they are being monterrored. meanwhile hospital officials are answering it's tougher questions, the patient was given antibiotics and turned away on his first visit despite telling the nurse he just returned from liberia. >> regretfully that information was not fully communicated to the whole team.

and ali gorman joins us live in abington with more on the prevention efforts. hi, ali. >> a doctor evaluated a man for ebola months ago. he had no symptoms but worked in liberia. the state department told him to be screened. that patient was completely cleared, but that is what prompted the doctors here to make a plan. the doctor shows me protocols they have to identify ebola. he says all medical centers, big and small, must be prepared. and the mistake made in texas when thomas duncan was first sent home despite having search toms and recent travel from liberia was a huge lesson learned. >> it was a very important lesson and it clearly shows the failure points within our system of being able to capture people who are at-risk and who may be harboring or carrying the ebola virus in our own country. >> now he believes the medical centers are more aware and ready. airports are also on the front lines to control ebola. airports with flights to and from affected areas there screen passengers. at philadelphia international if any travel includes a stop in west africa,
