Some are travelers, some are health care workers returning from W African 3 countries. But with minimal media notice. As has been happening for many months until Mr Duncan's awful treatment in TX.

For instance

State tracking 48 travelers as part of Ebola monitoring system

The post-election freak out factor is lower, so don’t expect a lot of media hysteria. But MPR’s story says, “Minnesota health officials said Wednesday they are tracking 48 travelers from West Africa for signs of Ebola, a precautionary move taken as part of the state's new monitoring system. The travelers arrived in Minnesota from Liberia, Sierra Leone and Guinea. The Minnesota Department of Health considers them low-risk because they did not have a known exposure to Ebola during their time in those countries. Officials are also working to contact another 12 travelers to begin monitoring.”
