President Donald Trump’s administration is reportedly planning to send its Ebola-exposed citizens to Kenya.
According to reports, Donald Trump administration is reluctant to fly its residents who have been exposed to the virus back to the United States for observation, as has been the norm on previous occasions.
Therefore, reports indicate that the Trump administration is expected to deploy U.S. public health officers to Kenya to staff a potential quarantine facility.
In reports relation to the matter, the American citizens will be quarantined in Kenya inside a facility that the U.S. government is considering constructing in the near future.
Reports adds that the facility will be used to isolate American citizens who have been exposed to the virus, as well as those who test positive.
However, the facility is pending approval by the Kenyan government as of Tuesday, May 26.
Additionally, if approved, Kenya will then host Ebola patients, something that might raise fears among the public about the potential outbreak of the virus in the country.
Under the new plan, a few dozen Public Health Service officers are being trained to deploy to Kenya to provide medical care to Americans who are deemed at high risk of the virus.
This will raise concerns and fear among Kenyans since Kenya has so far not recorded any cases of the virus, even after screening over 48,000 individuals suspected of having been exposed to the virus.
