Why isn't state revealing identities, locations of people monitored for Ebola in Pa?

Because they are monitoring them and none are contagious. Science! It is good for you and me.

Pennsylvania health officials are not revealing the identities or the locations of 105 people the state is monitoring for the Ebola virus. So we don't know if any are in Lancaster County or not. But that's for our own good, according to the state health department.

"We want the public to feel comfortable going about their daily lives," said Aimee Tysarczyk, a spokesperson at the state health department, in an emailed response.

The state is not releasing the names of the individuals or the counties in which they reside because there is no public health threat at this time, Tysarczyk said. The individuals have no signs or symptoms of Ebola. Monitoring them is just another precautionary measure, she said in her response.
