Texas Governor Rick Perry will hold a press conference today at 1 p.m. He is expected to provide an update on the man diagnosed with the Ebola virus being treated at a Dallas hospital. The patient is the first to be diagnosed with the virus in the U.S.

Federal authorities say the man is in critical condition at Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital. They are tracking down anyone he may have had close contact with.

The man flew from Liberia, the country hardest hit by the outbreak, to Dallas Sept. 18. He started feeling ill a few days later.

Authorities say there was no risk to anyone who was on his airline flight two weeks ago because he had no symptoms at that point.
