(CNN) -- The partner of Ebola patient Thomas Duncan is quarantined in her Dallas apartment where Duncan became sick with the virus after his trip to Liberia, the woman told CNN's Anderson Cooper.
The woman, who asked to be identified only by her first name, Louise, is quarantined with one of her children under 13 and two nephews in their 20s because they were in apartment when Duncan became ill, Cooper said.
...
"She doesn't know how she's going to get food into the apartment. She was told she said maybe the Red Cross would come by. She's still waiting for that," Cooper said.
...
Louise "does not feel that she came into any contact with any (bodily) fluids" from Duncan, Cooper said.
"She says he didn't vomit on her. She wasn't cleaning up after him. She said he was very much sort of prideful, would take care of himself, go into the bathroom when he had diarrhea," Cooper said.
...
The sheets Duncan used are still on the bed, and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention hasn't taken away those materials, Cooper said.
CNN's Dr. Sanjay Gupta said the continuing presence of the sheets, on which Duncan may have transmitted the virus through sweating, are disturbing.
