Instead of an emergency declaration � which could have freed up additional funds but would have restricted all citizens' movements � county execs said they would urge people who had some contact with Duncan to agree to monitor themselves, voluntarily restrict their travel and stay away from public places for 21 days.

�These are heroes. These aren't criminals, they aren't risks to the community," Dallas County Judge Clay Jenkins said of the health workers who treated Duncan. "They don�t need to feel like they are others that we need to declare martial law on."
