Kenya's quarantine clash: Ebola responders kept abroad despite court halt

Seven American disaster-response workers with Samaritan’s Purse, helping with the Congo Ebola outbreak, are being quarantined for 21 days at a Kenyan facility after Kenya’s High Court blocked its construction; the move coincides with the U.S. using Title 42 to require Congo travelers to spend 21 days in another country before returning home. The workers are under precautionary monitoring by U.S. Public Health Service clinicians and housed in military tents, with meals from the U.S. military, while it remains unclear if they were exposed to Ebola. The Congo outbreak has surpassed 2,100 cases and 828 deaths, fueling criticism that Americans exposed to Ebola should be treated domestically rather than abroad.
