Americans exposed to Ebola won't immediately return to U.S.
Americans exposed to Ebola in Africa will quarantine in Kenya and be transported to European treatment facilities if they test positive, according to Trump administration officials. The plan has drawn criticism from public health experts who argue U.S. facilities could handle cases, while the administration claims European care is faster. A 50-bed quarantine camp at Kenya's Laikipia Air Base is set to open, with U.S. medical personnel deploying to manage the site.
