Crews could be seen setting up a decontamination area and the plane was moved to an isolated section of the airport.

But passenger tweeting on board just confirmed that the scare was false.

Noelle Stevenson tweeted much the same. ?I think they?re gonna let us leave. They seem confident it was just a scare. They?re letting us off. Spirits on board have been high/calm throughout despite stressed out flight crew and my harried tweets.? She added ?We?re on a bus now assuming we can leave and we?re gonna get contacted later?.

Hospital staff determined that the patient was not at risk for Ebola, and there was no risk of infection to the flight's passengers or crew.
