USA :CDC issued a travel warning urging Americans
not to travel to the region.
Plans are underway to bring back
one of the two American aid workers sick with
Ebola in Africa.
A small private jet based in Atlanta has been
dispatched to Liberia where the two sick
Americans work for missionary groups. Officials
say the jet is outfitted with a special, portable
tent designed for transporting patients with
highly infectious diseases.
The two Americans are Dr. Kent Brantly and
Nancy Writebol. The plane can only carry one
patient and officials have not said who is to be
picked up.
Atlanta's Emory University Hospital says it
expects one of the patients to be transferred
there "within the next several days."
The
hospital has a special isolation unit.
The Ebola outbreak in West Africa has killed
more than 700 people.
