A new 50-bed Ebola quarantine facility for Americans exposed to the virus is set to open in Kenya this Friday. This facility marks a shift in U.S. policy, as previously, exposed Americans were often repatriated to the United States.

• The facility is located at the Kenyan Air Force’s Laikipia Air Base near Nanyuki.
• The facility will initially be staffed by 30 officers from the U.S. Public Health Service.
• Patients requiring advanced treatment will be transferred to other countries, not the United States, aligning with President Donald Trump's long-held stance against repatriating Ebola patients.
