Ebola Outbreak: State Department Will Evacuate Two Americans Infected With Virus

The State Department announced on Friday it was evacuating two U.S. citizens infected by Ebola in West Africa. It did not explicitly specify who the two Americans are because of privacy concerns, but there are only two Americans known to be infected with the virus in West Africa right now: Dr. Kent Brantly and aid worker Nancy Writebol. Both were working in Liberia with the U.S.-based Samaritan's Purse aid group. They were both confirmed to be infected last week.
