Two Americans with Ebola to be brought home

WASHINGTON, Aug 1 (KUNA) -- The US State Department and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) are facilitating a medical evacuation for two US citizens who have been infected by the Ebola virus in West Africa.
"Every precaution is being taken to move the patients safely and securely, to provide critical care en route on a non-commercial aircraft, and to maintain strict isolation upon arrival in the United States," said the State Department Friday.
Once the patients arrive in the US they will be taken to medical facilities with "appropriate isolation and treatment capabilities". (end) ak.hb
