This *patient* has to be arriving from somewhere/somehow....who’s to say they’re not flying in with your sister, brother, wife, husband, uncle....etc?
It’s a private plane specially equipped for medical evacuation. Unless your uncle or sister or brother, etc. is a physician with the CDC, they won’t be anywhere near danger:

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has outfitted a Gulfstream jet with an isolation pod designed and built by the U.S. Defense Department, the CDC and a private company. The pod, officially called an Aeromedical Biological Containment System, is a portable, tentlike device that ensures the flight crew and others on the flight remain safe from an infectious disease.
A U.S.-contracted medical charter flight left Cartersville, Georgia, Thursday afternoon, to evacuate the Americans, a source familiar with the travel plans told CNN. At least one of them will be brought to Emory University near the headquarters of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in Atlanta, Georgia, hospital officials told CNN’s Dr. Sanjay Gupta.
