Summary
The Trump administration plans to send U.S. citizens exposed to Ebola in Africa to Kenya for monitoring and treatment rather than repatriating them to the United States, according to the New York Times. The policy aims to prevent the virus from reaching American soil, but has drawn criticism for potentially subjecting exposed individuals to inadequate healthcare facilities in Kenya. The report cites three anonymous sources familiar with the administration's plans.
