Where it was cleaned for the fourth time. The planes seat covers, carpets and air fileters will be replaced. John rawlins is live at Philadelphia International airport with more on the precautions being take and there. Hi monica, this is a fast moving story and the interest for aviation is two fold. One is the screening from passengers coming in from various countries from west africa, about 2,000 people a year fall into that category and the second of the two dallas nurses, the second one was able to fly commercially earlier this week. We asked travels ers if concerns about flying. Not now maybe in time it might be. It definitely did, that is the reason i wore a scarf, i was on the plane and covered my mouth and i also, it sounds crazy but i brought a mask in case anybody was coughing. Most of philadelphia is in Delaware County, the Ebola Task Force conferred with the task force chief at the airport. Philadelphia is not one of the five airports slated for stepped up screening, including taking the temperatures from west african travelers. The cdc people are on stand by if someone needs to we taken aside for questioning or to have their temperature taken they are there ready to handle it. And readiness if there is an ebola case in Delaware County. The chair was asked if they are confident that the county Health Care Workers have up to date protection gear. They assured us that all hospitals in Delaware County have the ability to handle an Infectious Disease case. Not only the hospitals but the state department have assured them that they are keeping them informed on the ever changing protocols. Thank you john. Now to action News Reporter david henry live at city hall where philadelphia leaders talking about preparations for ebola if the virus happens to show up here. Well, monica, to hear Public Health officials tell it, we are here to handle any cases that pop up here but there are apparently gaps that need to be filled. The citys Health Commissioners say that the hospitals are ready. Childrens hospital is designated as the primary care center, they are all ready to treat adults. The plan is that all the hospitals that currently retrieve transports should be prepared to receive a patient with this history and these symptoms and perform the appropriate evaluation and if necessary, treatment. The hospitals are ready and its still unclear if the citys own Health Clinics are. The doctors deflected a question if they have protective suits, they told action news that they dont. Fire commissioner, derek sawyer told the committees that they have all the necessary protective year that they need but only a third are trained and the rest will be trained by the end of day tomorrow then will suit up, if a patient answers yes to questions being asked by 911 operators. If she have travelled to west african countries or in cant with anyone that traveled there. They assured counsel that they are ready to coordinate any response necessary for a possible ebola outbreak. It was prompted by public anxiety over tlapses that allow two nurses to be affected in dallas. Ebola has people frightened but Health Officials reminded us that the two nurses got infected 1200 miles away in dallas and you can only catch ebola if you are indirect contact with bodily fluids from a patient. Thank you david. Action news crews are on the move to bring you new information on the ebola crisis in america. Dann cuellar is flying to dallas and ali gorman is flying to atlantic where several patients have been treated. Look for their live reports starting tonight on action news.

Philadelphia teachers students and supporters shut down traffic here on broad street outside of the School District headquarters, we are live here from chopper 6 hd, the city is rallying outside of the school meeting, there were 1,000 at the height of it. They are fired up after the meeting last week canceled their contract. Sara bloomquist joins us with more on that. Reporter well, monica that is right, the crowd is now just starting to thin out. Philadelphia police are working to try to get traffic moving again on broad street, youll see behind me, moving in the northbound direction. And southbound blocked by hundreds of protesters, meantime inside the School Reform commission is meeting while this is going on. They are protesting the srcs decision to cancel the contract and forcing teachers to pay a share of their health plan. Hundreds of teachers, parents and supporters started gathering on broad street from curb to curb, from callow hill starting at 4 30 this have afternoon. They are protesting the abrupt decision to cancel the teachers contract. They are trying to cancel the contract, its shameful, we are tired of the lies. If the action by the src, holds up in court, 15,000 teachers and other Union Members will be forced to contribute to Health Benefits up to 13 . The majority of members didnt contribute anything, it will allow for a savings of nearly 54 million money that will go directly back to schools. Teachers say they sacrifice enough. This will affect every teacher so dramatically, we get paid nothing and work hard every single day. They make us look like we are the reason why the School District is the way it is and this is the reason they are failing. It was a sneak attack and pitiful. William hite told action news this was the best option to generate the cash that the District Needs now. One reason this was so important is that the children are in the schools without the resources, they are saying they are shocked that we took an action, how can you be shocked that we took an action that benefitted children with 54 million in schools right now. You can see Philadelphia Police are still trying to move protesters out of broad street and get traffic moving again . And as this src meeting goes on inside. This will not be the last of the protests over the canceling of the teachers krabtss, the district is still try toing negotiate a contract. Im sara bloomquist, channel 6 action news. Thank you sara.

What a different a day makes, in a good part of our viewing area, we have one area of showers, stormtracker 6 live double scan showing we are dry along the i95 corridor, however there is one line moving through Lancaster County and berks county and moving slowly, crossing 222 moving to the northeast and its right over downtown reading right now and no lightning strikes associated with this and moving over perkiomen avenue and this is because of a line that is swinging through this morning that drover all the heavy rain offshore. Temperatures are now mild, 67 degrees in philadelphia and 66 is the normal high for this time of year. Allentown 65 and reading a rain cooled 69 and Sea Isle City currently 68 degrees, satellite 6 along with action radar showing there is a cold front and all the heavy rain pushed over new england and you see the spin in the atmosphere, that is the upper level low drifting through the line of showers, and they should be falling apart and partly cloudy skies with a little bit of fog, get outside and enjoy the day, maybe take a lunch break outside. A mixture of sun and clouds, we are in between systems and a mild 72 degrees, on saturday another cold front moves in and this has limited moisture and clouds in the afternoon and winds kick up and our high is 69 degrees, behind this front, we have the coldest air mass of the season arriving for the second half of the weekend. This is really the big weather story, hurricane gonzalo, a category 4 hurricane with maximum sustained winds at 145 Miles Per Hour with the hurricane winds, and this is unfortunately on a collision course to bermuda, it looks to make a direct hit on bermuda or slide to the west tomorrow afternoon, just to the west its the worst case scenario, and this puts bermuda on the North Western flank of the system and they are dealing with sustained winds tomorrow at 5 00 up to 120 Miles Per Hour, and this causes extensive damage to bermuda. Back at home, patchy clouds and areas of clouds, 56 for center city, a fairly mild night and the exclusive accuweather sevenday forecast, beautiful friday, nice and bright, 72 degrees, so on the warm side, not humid like yesterday though.
