Seven US Ebola aid workers quarantined in Laikipia

Seven American aid workers supporting Ebola response efforts in the Democratic Republic of Congo have been transferred to a U.S.-supported bio-isolation facility at Laikipia Air Base in central Kenya. The team, which works with Samaritan's Purse, is undergoing a mandatory 21-day quarantine under U.S. travel requirements for personnel returning from the DRC. A U.S. State Department official told Reuters the seven voluntarily moved to the facility as a precautionary measure for monitoring and isolation.
