Photo News: Home of US Ebola victim cleaned up by HAZMAT as family members are quarantined under heavy guard

The family of an Ebola patient who were quarantined in an apartment over fears they could have contracted the deadly infection have been relocated to a secret location after their home was finally decontaminated.

America's first Ebola victim Thomas Duncan, 42, may have had contact with around 100 people before being quarantined over the deadly virus at Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital on Sunday

Health officials have said 10 people in the area are now considered to be 'high risk' after coming into contact with the infected patient while another 40 are being monitored closely in case symptoms arise.

Cleanup crews were able to decontaminate the apartment by collecting bed sheets, towels and a mattress used by the infected man before he was hospitalized, as well as a suitcase he is believed to have brought back from Liberia.

According to ABC News,  the hazmat team also found that Duncan had slept on every single mattress in the house, not just the one that had been previously assumed.

Also, children who were in close contact with the man who has Ebola attend a particular school - causing some panicked parents to temporarily remove their kids.
