#1 Apparently the adult had typhoid fever in August. He's considered safe now but the article doesn't detail why.

He's returning home to Liberia immediately following the election ?

If a person arrives from Liberia and shows any symptoms that might indicate Ebola what would be the rationale for not testing for Ebola?

The last unplanned entry of an Ebola patient resulted in the confirmed infection of two people. In addition hundreds of people are or were put under surveillance.

Nope, none at all. Examiner was looking for an excuse not to do the Ebola test.
