Also, the first video of stricken Dallas nurse Nina Pham's beloved dog Bentley in quarantine has been released. His new home is a decommissioned naval air station outside Dallas known as Hensley Field.
The naval station is surrounded on three sides by water and protected by high fences.
The Cavalier King Charles Spaniel has comfortable bedding and toys to keep him occupied, but it's got to be pretty lonely. He's confined to his crate. And even though he has a 24 hour guard, no one is allowed to pet him!
Bentley will remain in quarantine for 21 days. It's not known if he is carrying Ebola.
