City’s Insurer Pays $30K To Settle Ebola Lawsuit

The insurance carrier for a Connecticut city paid $30,000 to settle a lawsuit filed by the family of a third-grader who was barred from school for several days because of Ebola fears. School officials in Milford initially told 7-year-old Ikeoluwa Opayemi to stay out of school for three weeks last October after she attended a family wedding in Nigeria. The girl showed no symptoms of Ebola and Nigeria had no known cases of the virus. She was allowed to return to school after her father filed a federal lawsuit.
