Ebola: Medics to be quarantined automatically in America

New York, New Jersey and Illinois (all in the United States of America) are to begin automatically quarantining medics returning from Ebola-hit countries, health officials have announced.

This is coming on the heels of a former medic, Dr. Craig Spencer testing positive for the disease several days after he returned from Guinea. The US government said it was considering adopting the move for the whole country after it emerged that Dr Spencer had already been checked at the border and declared safe.
