A: Duncan's girlfriend Louise Troh and three relatives are quarantined in the apartment where he fell ill. They will have to remain there for 21 days. But health officials have so far failed to remove the bed sheets and towels Duncan sweated on while infected. His girlfriend told CNN by phone that she was simply avoiding the bed, sleeping in the living room instead. She has put the towels in a plastic bag. Health officials are visiting her only once a day, she said. She has cleaned the apartment herself using bleach and is monitoring her own temperature, and that of he others hourly. Officials are not doing it. Miss Troh and the other people in the apartment were initially merely asked to stay inside. A legal quarantine was not imposed until three days after Duncan was diagnosed, during which time they did go outside. Dallas judge Clay Jenkins said: "There were violations of the request to not leave their premises." Meanwhile, four Sheriff's deputies blundered by going into the apartment without protection. They had to be sent home, hand in their uniforms, and their patrol cars have been qurantined.
