Dallas Morning News: Dallas Ebola patient Amber Vinson contacted the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention before boarding the Frontier Airlines flight Monday because she had a slight fever, a federal government spokesperson told NBC News Wednesday. Vinson was running a 99.5 degree fever, but was not told that she could not fly, the spokesman told NBC News. When she called in, staff looked at the CDC website for guidance. At the time, the category for “uncertain risk” said a person could fly commercially if their temperature was below the threshold of 100.4 degrees.
