The New Jersey Department of Health has ruled out Ebola in the case of a man who had been vomiting on United Flight 998 from Brussels. The passengers onboard were held for more than 90 minutes. After the plane landed at about 12: 15 on Saturday. Officials from the Centers for Disease Control assessed the man, who had become ill during the flight. The Port Authority said it was a routine response to a sick passenger. But an airport official told CNN that authorities were taking precautions because of heightened concerns. About Ebola. The Port Authority released little information about the sick passenger during the ordeal. Only that he was a 35- year old travelling with his daughter and was taken to a nearby university hospital. But, it declined to provide further information on where he was travelling from. One passenger, Henry Costa, said the man was travelling from Liberia. I talked with him. I didn't see him vomit, but I talked to him prior to us boarding the flight. From Liberia. Before United 998 passengers were free to leave the airport. They were given a sheet of paper that describe the signs and symptoms of Ebola. Passengers said they were concerned. It was quite scary but you know it would have been nice to get better information. Definitely some relief after the health department ruled out Ebola. But it was a tense few hours for those aboard that plane. While it certainly seems like business as usual at Newark now. This story definitely raises concerns for anyone flying. ```json {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"VideoObject","name":"Sick Man Causes Ebola Scare on Flight at Newark","description":"Sick Man Causes Ebola Scare on Flight at Newark","thumbnailUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/v2/media/wunDN2nd/poster.jpg?width=720","uploadDate":"2014-10-05T15:37:15.000Z","contentUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/manifests/wunDN2nd.m3u8","embedUrl":"https://time.com/video/wunDN2nd/","duration":"PT2M16S","potentialAction":{"@type":"SeekToAction","target":"https://time.com/video/wunDN2nd/?jw_start={seek_to_second_number}","startOffset-input":"required name=seek_to_second_number"}} ```
