Emergency crews are responding to a reported medical emergency aboard a Delta Airlines flight at Midway International Airport Thursday. ABC News is reporting the flight was no longer under quarantine.

Fire Media Affairs Director Larry Langford said the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention was at the airport and in charge of the investigation of an “unidentified medical condition.”

Emergency crews were on the scene as of about 5 p.m. after a passenger had an unspecified medical issue, according to Chicago Department of Aviation spokeswoman Karen Pride.

Pride said she was notified of the incident about 3:45 p.m. and noted that other flights have not been impacted by the incident.
