President Barack Obama convened a meeting Friday with members of his national security and public health teams to coordinate a "whole-of-government" domestic response to Ebola.
"The President's advisors updated him on the status of the contact tracing process to identify and, as necessary, monitor all individuals who may have come into contact with the Ebola patients in Dallas following their exposure," said a statement from the White House.
The team also discussed the city of Dallas where Ebola has been most prevalent in the US. In response, the White House made plans to send an experienced Federal Emergency Management (FEMA) coordinator and White House liaison to Dallas.
Finally Obama underscored that the, "domestic response to Ebola cases must be seamless at all levels, just as we continue to move forward expeditiously with a whole-of-government approach to counter the outbreak at its source in West Africa."
