The person left Liberia on 19 Sept and arrived here on 20 and had no symptoms when entering the country. On the 24th he developed symptoms, on the 26th he sought care and the 28th was admitted to the hospital.

This is from the CDC briefing happening now.

So everyone he came in contact with for four days between the 24th and 28th is potentially infected. Hopefully a small set of people.

No, ebola is not contagious while it is asymptomatic.

You need to read the article, he started showing symptoms on the 24th, he was put into the isolation ward on the 28th
