A Frontier Airlines plane is reportedly being disinfected at this airport in Cleveland, Ohio because of Ebola.
This, after a second nurse to become infected with the deadly virus flew on the plane from Cleveland to Dallas on Monday, according to U.S. airline officials.
She made the flight, packed with over 130 passengers, just one day before she reported developing symptoms of Ebola infection, officials say.
The Cleveland airport was busy on Wednesday but this nurse in the terminal was a little uneasy.
SOUNDBITE: UNIDENTIFIED MOTHER OF A PASSENGER SAYING:
"Well, for me, as a nurse after 23 of practicing, you know, organisms grow where you can't see them, and how long they live on surfaces, nobody realizes it,"
The nurse -- identified by her family as Amber Vinson -- is now now in a hospital isolation unit.
