{Photos} Unhappy Judge US Ebola Patient's family are quarantined at home

After the revelation that US Ebola patient had come in contact with about 100 people, Dallas County Judge Clay Jenkins, who is coordinating the Ebola response, said he was 'not happy' that family members were still quarantined at the home. 

‎

Jenkins said Mr Duncan's sweat-soaked bedsheets remained inside but were bagged and in the bedroom with the door closed.‎
There are currently no plans to move the family to another location, he added, but said it was safe for them to remain the apartment while the sanitization process took place.‎

Judge Jenkins, who visited the family on Thursday, said they are 'understandably stressed' but being assisted by the CDC - not just to monitor their temperatures but to cope with the frightening situation. ‎

His girlfriend Louise Troh, her son Timothy Wayne, 13, nephew Oliver Smallwood, 21, and his friend Jeffrey Cole, have been legally ordered to stay inside the Dallas apartment where Ebola patient Thomas Duncan became contagious last weekend.‎He is reportedly too ill and weak to talk at the moment ‎.

The quarantine order, which also bans visitors, was imposed on Wednesday after the individuals inside the apartment tried to leave.

The 13-year-old went to Tasby Middle School for part of Wednesday, but was sent home. School officials said again that no family members were exhibiting Ebola signs.

There were concerns over the conditions the family had left in after Mr Duncan's girlfriend told CNN on Thursday that his sweat-soaked sheets were still on the bed - five days after he was taken to hospital with Ebola symptoms.

The at-risk group includes 12 to 18 people who had direct contact with the infected man, including an ambulance crew and a handful of schoolchildren, she said. The others came into contact with that core group.

Thomas Eric Duncan was to wed Louise Troh in a ceremony which would have paved the way to him staying in the U.S. permanently - and escape his native Liberia.
Mark Wingfield, associate pastor at Wilshire Baptist Church, told MailOnline:‎

'Louise told our senior pastor on Thursday that Mr Duncan had come to the US to marry her and start a new life.Those are her words to describe the situation'. ‎

Until three years ago he had been living in a refugee camp in Ghana because he was unable to return home due to a civil war in Liberia - and on his arrival just about scraped a living tinkering with cars and bartering.

Duncan arrived in the U.S. on September 20 and is believed to have come on a tourist visa in what was his first trip to America‎.

Duncan, 42, and Troh, 54, appear to have a relationship of some king going back many years and have at least one child together.‎
