You Can’t Make This Stuff Up. Obama Announces West African Quarantine But Not For West Africans... For American Troops
The pentagon will quarantine returning U.S. soldiers, but will allow unimpeded
access for West African citizens who choose to travel to the United States. You
just can’t make this stuff up.
(CNN)
In an unprecedented move to protect U.S. troops that might be exposed to Ebola,
U.S. military commanders are being given the authority to quarantine troops for
21 days at a Defense Department facility where they will be monitored for signs
of the disease and treated if they do contract the virus, a Defense Department
memo explained.
The memo, which was obtained by CNN, spells out the details of the military's plan for the first time.
It does not reveal the location of the facility, but one U.S. official said it may be a site in the Washington, D.C. area. The quarantine will apply to troops evacuated from West Africa, if it is determined they have an elevated risk of exposure to Ebola.
