A person in Frisco who may be showing Ebola symptoms and claims to have had contact with Thomas Eric Duncan, the man who died of the virus Wednesday in Dallas, is being investigated, the city says.

The person being transported to the hospital is an employee with the Dallas County Sheriff's Office who was in Duncan's apartment, NBC 5 has confirmed.

At 12:32 p.m., Frisco dispatch received a call from CareNow in the 300 block of Main Street, regarding a patient who claimed to have had contact with Dallas "patient zero," according to Dana Baird, the public information officer for the City of Frisco.

Thomas Eric Duncan, the Liberian man who became the first person diagnosed with Ebola in the United States and became "patient zero," died Wednesday morning at Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital in Dallas.

Firefighter-paramedics are in the process of transporting the patient, as well as examining clinical staff and patrons of the clinic, Baird said. Baird said the number of people impacted is unknown.

Looks like the family of this Deputy say they do not believe it is Ebola and the symptoms are not all congruent but they decided to go to the clinic out of caution. We will know in about 48 hours.
