Trump Administration Proposes Kenya as Ebola Quarantine Hub
The Trump administration has proposed establishing a quarantine and treatment facility in Kenya for American citizens exposed to Ebola. This plan, pending approval from the Kenyan government, marks a shift in the U.S. response to the Ebola outbreak in East and Central Africa. The Democratic Republic of Congo remains the epicenter of the outbreak, with 906 suspected cases and 223 suspected deaths. The proposal aims to isolate and treat high-risk Americans in Kenya, rather than transferring them to Europe. The U.S. Public Health Service Commissioned Corps is expected to operate the facility, with members on standby for deployment.
