WASHINGTON, May 28 (Reuters) - The U.S. is setting up a facility in Kenya to quarantine U.S. citizens who have been exposed to Ebola, and will not be transporting those who develop symptoms to the United States, senior administration officials said on Thursday.
Patients who need to be evacuated will be taken to third countries, not the United States, the official said, because it is faster, and to protect Americans at home. They denied the decision was politically motivated.
Secretary of State Marco Rubio had said on Wednesday that "we cannot and will not allow any cases of Ebola to enter the United States" and the U.S. last week imposed entry restrictions on travelers who have been in the Democratic Republic of Congo, Uganda, or South Sudan in the past 21 days, including lawful permanent residents, known as green card holders.
Good, an administration be proactive about the heath of it's citizens for a change. The dems would have let them return in time for the midterms.
