14 Americans Quarantined at New York Military Base After Returning from Ebola-Hit DRC

Fourteen U.S. citizens who returned from the Democratic Republic of the Congo, where an Ebola outbreak is spreading, were placed in a four-day quarantine at a military base in New York, according to Reuters citing two sources familiar with the matter.

The quarantine comes as the Democratic Republic of the Congo continues to battle an Ebola outbreak that has infected thousands. Prior reporting by The Zioneer covered the outbreak's spread and suspected cases in Israel, where health authorities have monitored travelers from the region. The 14 individuals, all American citizens, will remain isolated for four days under medical observation. No details on their health status have been released.
