UPDATE: Detainee released to ICE, never showed signs of Ebola

A female detainee from Liberia in the Kenosha County Jail is being monitored for signs of the Ebola virus, WITI-TV (Fox 6) in Milwaukee reported Wednesday.

The Kenosha County Sheriff's Office said during a screening jail officials realized the woman previously was at O'Hare International Airport in Chicago and that she is from the West African nation that has been hard-hit by the deadly virus, according to a story posted on the station's website.

O'Hare is one of five U.S. airports where travelers from the region go through an additional layer of screening, according to a report from CNN.

The woman has shown no signs of the virus. Local officials are in close contact with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and other federal officials, according to the station.
