A freelance television cameraman who was diagnosed in Liberia with Ebola was on his way to the United States for treatment at the Nebraska Medical Center in Omaha, NBC News reported Sunday.
Ashoka Mukpo, who was working for NBC, left Liberia on a specially equipped airplane that was expected to make a brief stop in Maine early Monday before continuing onto Nebraska, the network reported.
Mukpo, 33, is the fifth American diagnosed with Ebola.
Two previous flights carrying aid workers who contracted Ebola in West Africa landed at Bangor International Airport in August to refuel on their way to Emory University Hospital in Atlanta.
The first flight carried Dr. Kent Brantly and the second flight carried Nancy Writebol, an American missionary.
It was undetermined late Sunday where in Maine the plane carrying Mukpo was scheduled to land.
