Most of the 13 US treatment centres in a government-funded hospital network for severe infectious diseases are ready to handle patients, including those with Ebola if needed, representatives from the hospitals said this week.
The current Ebola outbreak in the Democratic Republic of Congo has resulted in 344 confirmed cases of the disease and 60 deaths, according to the World Health Organization. So far, one American confirmed to have Ebola has been treated in Germany.
The US State Department has said that its citizens exposed to the virus but with no symptoms would be quarantined in Kenya at a facility it is building and vowed to keep the US free of travellers with Ebola.
