Seven American humanitarian workers are spending 21 days under medical observation in Kenya not because they are ill, but because they could become ill.
A Reuters report published today confirms they are seven American Disaster Assistance Response Team (DART) staff from the Christian humanitarian organisation Samaritan's Purse . Franklin Graham, the organisation's President and CEO, confirmed this, saying:
“Samaritan's Purse has seven American Disaster Assistance Response Team staff members there. None of them have any symptoms, but they are being quarantined by the Kenyan government for 21 days."
