From the WHO's "Ebola situation assessment"
report:
95% of confirmed cases have an incubation period in the range of 1 to 21 days; 98% have an incubation period that falls within the 1 to 42 day interval.
What this means is that 3% of Ebola incubations occur from 21 - 42 days and that another 2% are not explained with regard to a time frame.
Thus, the 21-day quarantine currently being enforced by the CDC is entirely insufficient to halt an outbreak.
Here's WHO making clear that the true period of incubation is 42 days:
The period of 42 days, with active case-finding in place, is twice the maximum incubation period for Ebola virus disease and is considered by WHO as sufficient to generate confidence in a declaration that an Ebola outbreak has ended.
