Five students attended four different Dallas schools this week after possibly being in close contact with the Ebola patient over the weekend

The Ebola patient was named today as Thomas Eric Duncan, who had traveled to the U.S. from Liberia on September 20 to visit family
Mr Duncan, a Liberian national, quarantined at Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital since Sunday
The children who came in contact with Mr Duncan are showing no symptoms and are now being monitored at home
The schools are on high alert with additional health and custodia staff as an added precaution

Mr Duncan arrived in U.S. on September 20 - after flying from Liberia via Brussels in Belgium - but did not develop symptoms until September 24

He attended Texas Health Presbyterian on September 26 - but was dismissed with antibiotics and 'not asked details about his travel history'

Mr Duncan may have contracted Ebola while helping carrying his landlord's seriously ill daughter to hospital in Liberia. She died the next day
