Trump administration to send Americans exposed to Ebola to a new facility in Kenya

The Trump administration is establishing a quarantine facility in Kenya for Americans exposed to Ebola amid the outbreak in the Democratic Republic of Congo and Uganda, pending Kenya's approval.
US public health officials and the Pentagon are coordinating to set up a field hospital in Kenya with an initial capacity of 50 beds.
Travel screening for Ebola has been enhanced at US airports including JFK, Atlanta, Houston, and Washington-Dulles, with Title 42 travel restrictions applying to non-citizens from affected African countries for 30 days.
Uganda has temporarily closed its border with the Democratic Republic of Congo to limit Ebola spread, allowing only authorized personnel under strict health screening and monitoring, while US officials emphasize preventing Ebola cases from entering the United States.
