A plane passenger has been hospitalized in New Jersey after landing at Newark airport from an Ebola-affected country.

According to CNN, the unnamed passenger who traveled to America on a United Airlines flight on Monday afternoon is being kept for observation overnight at Hackensack University Medical Center.
A spokeswoman said that they had taken the steps as a matter of caution.

The passenger had become ill on a flight that arrived in Newark from Brussels on Monday afternoon.
Luke Punzenberger, a spokesman for United told CNN:

'After arriving at Newark airport from Brussels, medical personnel met a United flight to assist an ill passenger on board. Passengers and crew stayed on the plane until the medical personnel cleared the aircraft.'
