Plane Quarantined After Passengers Fall Ill

A plane has been quarantined at Boston Logan Airport after five passengers began "exhibiting flu-like symptoms" .

The Emirates flight from Dubai is now being boarded by emergency responders from Boston EMS and the Massachusetts Port Authority Fire Department.

Airport spokesman Matthew Brelis stressed "none of the five were travelling from West Africa".

Logan is not among five US airports designated to perform ebola screenings on passengers as it does not receive direct flights from the African countries where more than 4,000 people have died from the virus.
