May 27 (UPI) -- The United States and Kenya are in talks to create a quarantine facility in Kenya for Americans exposed to Ebola, unnamed officials told multiple media outlets Wednesday.
The U.S. Public Health Service would staff the planned field hospital and isolate and monitor Americans exposed to or at risk of the ongoing outbreak of Ebola in the Democratic Republic of Congo, Uganda and South Sudan.
The Kenyan government hasn't yet approved the plan, The Star, Kenya, reported.
The plan is to have the facility built with 50 beds within a week, with the potential to expand to 250 beds later, The Washington Post reported.
