However the relative appears to have initially been in denial about the risk to her health after her extended family and friends contacted her following Mr Duncan's hospital admission last week.A friend told Mailonline:
'She is the one who went to pick Thomas Eric Duncan up from the airport.They greeted each other, they hugged and held each other, which is only normal. They were pleased to see each other.But now everyone has been asking her about what has happened.'And she has replied; "my Daddy does not have Ebola."'She said; "Everyone should stop calling me because my dad does not have Ebola."She was meant to go for a medical check-up because she was one of the people who had been with him [Thomas Duncan], but she did not.'
It is unclear whether the relative – who is in a stable relationship and has three young children – has since been to see a doctor
Mr Duncan,42 had come to Dallas to marry the mother of his estranged son, Louise Troh, which would have paved the way for him to stay in the USA permanently, it has emerged.The 42-year-old, who is understood to have arrived in the USA on a tourist visa, met Ms Troh in Liberia many years ago, according to Wilshire Baptist church pastor George Mason.
He said:
'They had this child. They had a falling out, and she came to the [United] States.'
The child, Kasiah Duncan, also came to the USA and this week said he had not seen his father since he was aged three. He is a 19-year-old college student at Angelo State University in San Angelo.
