It turns out that the man diagnosed with Ebola in the US, Thomas Eric Duncan lied on his airport health questionnaire and that the Liberian authorities say they plan to prosecute him.
Huffington Post reports that the Duncan, who was diagnosed on the deadly disease on September 30, 2014 and is now known as the first person to be diagnosed of the disease in the US, failed to fill his airport health questionnaire honestly.
Following the outbreak of the disease in the West African country, passengers flying out are screened for fever and asked if they had any contact with an infected person.
Duncan is reported to have cared for a sick pregnant woman while in Liberia, neighbours say. The woman later died of Ebola.
The Associated Press has obtained Duncan’s airport questionnaire in which he replied no to the questions concerning his possible contact with the disease.
Chairman of the board of directors of Liberia’s airport authority Binyah Kesselly told newsmen, Thursday, October 2, 2014 that Duncan will be prosecuted when he returns to Liberia.
