NYC is monitoring 117 people for Ebola

The New York Health Department is monitoring 117 people for Ebola symptoms out of "an abundance of caution," but no one has shown symptoms, according to a New York Post report.

The health department issued thermometers to those being monitored, and Health Department employees call them twice a day to track their temperatures.

Those being monitored include healthcare workers caring for the Ebola patient in Bellevue Hospital and the EMS workers who took the patient to the hospital, according to the report.
