US Army to Quarantine Troops Who Were Fighting Ebola
The Army has decided that troops returning from deployments to Liberia should be quarantined so they can be monitored for possible exposure to the Ebola virus and a general was among the first people affected.
The order immediately affected up to a dozen soldiers who returned to their home base in Italy this weekend, including Maj. Gen. Darryl Williams, the former top U.S. commander in Liberia.
"Out of an abundance of caution the Army directed a small number of
personnel, about a dozen, that recently returned to Italy to be
monitored in a separate location at their home station of Vicenza," Col.
Steve Warren, a Pentagon spokesman, said today. "None of these
individuals have shown any symptoms of exposure."
