Ebola: Obama Orders US Diplomats Families Out Of Sierra Leone

The United States on Thursday told the
families of its diplomats in Sierra Leone to
leave the country to avoid exposure to
the epidemic of deadly Ebola fever
ravaging the country.
“The embassy recommended this step out
of an abundance of caution,” State
Department spokeswoman Marie Harf
said, citing “a lack of options for routine
health care services at major medical
facilities due to the Ebola outbreak.”
783 cases of infection with the virus have
been confirmed in Sierra Leone, 334 of
which have died.
