Ebola outbreak: '80 monitored' in Dallas, Texas
Texas health officials are monitoring as many as 80 people for Ebola after a man was diagnosed with the disease in Dallas, officials have told US media.
About 12-18 people, including five children, had contact with Liberian national Thomas Eric Duncan, who is in a serious condition in hospital.
The larger number includes individuals who had contact with those people.
Four of Mr Duncan's relatives have been ordered to stay home and not receive visitors until 19 October.
In a statement, Texas health officials said a "strict public health control order is needed to ensure compliance".
"This order gives us the ability to monitor the situation in the most meticulous way," Dr David Lakey, Texas health commissioner, said.
Dallas County Health and Human Services spokeswoman Erikka Neroes told CNN that about 80 people in the area - the patient's contacts and people with whom they had contact - were being monitored for signs of the illness.

The disease, which is not contagious until symptoms appear, is spread via close contact with bodily fluids.
Mr Duncan is thought to have contracted the virus in Liberia.
The Liberian national came to the US nearly two weeks ago to visit relatives and he is the first man to be diagnosed with Ebola while in the US.
Five young children who were in contact with him have been told to stay home from school.

Arizona court bans ex-Pinal judge from judicial service (200,000 missing)
CASA GRANDE, Ariz. — The state Supreme Court has banned a former Pinal County justice of the peace from ever working again as a judge in Arizona.
The Casa Grande Dispatch reports that the court's Sept. 23 order follows a lengthy investigation into the Maricopa-Stanfield Justice Court formerly overseen by Scott Sulley.
Sulley was placed on administrative leave early this year after the problems surfaced. The problems included missing records and $200,000 unaccounted for.
The Supreme Court determined that Sulley failed to effectively oversee court administration, prohibited staff training and created a hostile work environment. It said Sulley also made discriminatory comments and demonstrated poor demeanor, professionalism and decorum during his 10-year tenure.
Sulley did not attend an Aug. 8 hearing by the state judicial conduct commission or appeal its findings and recommendations.
Authorities Confirm First Ebola Case Diagnosed in U.S.
ATLANTA – A patient at Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital in Dallas tested positive for Ebola, becoming the first person to be diagnosed with the often-deadly virus in the United States, authorities said on Tuesday.“It is certainly possible that someone who had contact with this individual ... could develop Ebola in the coming weeks,” Dr. Tom Frieden, director of the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, told a press conference in Atlanta.
“But there is no doubt in my mind that we will stop it here,” he said.
The patient traveled to Texas from Liberia, one of the countries hit hardest by the current Ebola outbreak, on Sept. 20 and did not develop any symptoms until five days later, the CDC said.
The other passengers aboard the flight from Liberia are not at risk, Frieden said.
Even so, he said, the CDC will seek to track down anyone who might have been in contact with the patient once he became infectious.
The patient remains in isolation at the hospital in Dallas.
Four U.S. physicians and aid workers who contracted Ebola while working in Liberia have been brought back to the United States. Three have been successfully treated and released. The fourth remains at Atlanta’s Emory University Hospital.
Ebola has killed more than 3,000 people in Liberia, Sierra Leone, Guinea, Nigeria and Senegal, according to the latest figures from the World Health Organization.
