ByJonathanPaye- Layleh The Associated Press DALLAS Four relatives of the U.S. Ebola patient were confined to their Texas home under armed guard Thursday as the circle of people possibly exposed to the virus widened and Li- berian authorities said they would prosecute the man for allegedly lying on an air- port questionnaire. Dallas County Judge Clay Jenkins said the un- usual order was made af- ter the family was "non- compliant" with a re- quest not to leave their apartment. Texas State Health Commissioner Da- vid Lakey said the confine- ment would help ensure the relatives can be closely watched, including check- ing them for fevers over the next three weeks. "We didn't have the con- fidence we would have been able to monitor them the way that we needed to," Lakey said. The infected man's be- longings, including clothes and possibly sheets, are bagged inside the home so the family cannot come into contact with them un- til they are removed, Jen- kins said. Elsewhere, Texas health officials expanded their ef- forts to stem the risk of the Ebola virus spreading, reaching out to about 80 people who may have had direct contact with Thomas Eric Duncan or someone close to him. None of the people is showing symptoms, but public-health officials have educated them about Eb- ola and told them to notify medical workers if they be- gin to feel ill, Erikka Neroes, a spokeswoman for the Dal- las County Health and Hu- man Services agency, said Thursday. The group will be moni- tored to see if anyone seeks medical care during the three weeks immediately following the time of con- tact, Neroes said. The 80 people include 12 to 18 who came in di- rect contact with the in- fected man, as well as oth- ers known to have had con- tact with them, she said. The initial group in- cludes three members of the ambulance crew that took Duncan to the hospital, plus a handful of schoolchildren. Ebola symptoms can in- clude fever, muscle pain, vomiting and bleeding, and can appear as much as three weeks after exposure to the virus. The disease is not contagious until symp- toms begin. It spreads only by close contact with an in- fected person's bodily fluids. In Liberia, authorities announced plans to prose- cute Duncan, alleging that he lied on a form about not having any contact with an infected person. The case has raised ques- tions about whether a dis- ease that has killed 3,300 people in West Africa could spread in the United States. U.S. health officials say they remain confident they can keep it contained. Duncan arrived in Dallas on Sept. 20 to visit relatives and fell ill a few days later. His sister, Mai Wureh, iden- tified him as the infected man in an interview with The Associated Press. DISEASE Eb ol a pa ti en t' s re la ti ve s confined to Dallas home TONYGUTIERREZ—THEASSOCIATEDPRESS Dallas County Health and Human Services Director Zachary Thompson and Christopher Perkins, D.O., M.P.H. Medical Director/Health Authority with DCHHS walk out of a unit at The Ivy Apartment Complex Thursday in Dallas. By Sam Hananel The Associated Press WASHINGTON Did retailer Abercrombie & Fitch dis- criminate against a Mus- lim woman who was de- nied a job because her headscarf clashed with the company's dress code? That's the question in one of the 11 cases the Su- preme Court said Thurs- day it will take on in its new term. The justices took no ac- tion on the highly antic- ipated issue of same-sex marriage, though a decision on the gay marriage cases couldcomelaterthismonth. In other notable cases, the court will consider taking away a powerful legal tactic the Obama administration has used to combat hous- ing discrimination, decide whether judicial candidates have a First Amendment righttosolicitcampaigncon- tributionsandweighArizona Republicans' challenge to an independent redistricting commission that is intended to take partisanship out of drawing political maps. In the Abercrombie dis- pute, the Equal Employ- ment Opportunity Com- mission sued the retailer after it refused to hire Sa- mantha Elauf at a Tulsa, Oklahoma, store in 2008 because her Muslim hijab conflicted with the com- pany's "look policy." The policy was described at the time as a "classic East Coast collegiate style." A federal judge initially sided with the EEOC, but the 10th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals reversed, say- ing Elauf never directly in- formed her interviewer she needed a religious accom- modation, even though she was wearing the headscarf during her interview. Government lawyers say the appeals court ruling un- dercuts legal protections for religious practices because it unfairly places the entire the burden to raise the issue with job applicants who of- ten aren't aware of a poten- tial conflict. Abercrombie, which has faced slumping sales and could face negative public- ity in the case, has pressed on with its defense, saying it was Elauf's obligation to explain any special needs based on her religion. The company argues that job applicants "are not permit- ted to remain silent and to assume that the employer recognizes the religious motivations behind their fashion decisions." Abercrombie has settled two other EEOC discrim- ination lawsuits over the same issue and it changed its "look policy" four years ago to allow its workers to wear hijabs.
