The number of people under "active monitoring" for Ebola symptoms has increased from 117 on Monday to 357 people Wednesday, health officials said.

The vast majority of those being monitored arrived in New York City within the past 21 days from the three Ebola-affected countries, the New York City Health and Hospitals Corporation said in a statement.

Others being monitored are the staff caring for Dr. Craig Spencer, the physician being treated for Ebola at Bellevue Hospital, the lab workers who conducted his blood tests and the FDNY EMTs who transported the doctor……"

Just because there have been no new cases reported in the US, this is not the time to let your guard down. To be safe, stay off of airplanes, stay off of cruise ships, stay out of public swimming pools, stay away from hospitals, nursing homes and doctors offices or anywhere where those infected might appear, stay away from crowded areas, and do not use public restrooms among many other things you can do to protect yourself.
