华盛顿5月28日路透电 — 多名美国政府高级官员周四表示，美国将在肯尼亚设立一处设施，用于隔离接触过埃博拉病毒的美国公民，且不会将出现症状的感染者转运回美国。
世界卫生组织本月宣布，尚无获批疫苗或治疗手段的本迪布焦型埃博拉疫情为国际关注的突发公共卫生事件，目前确诊病例数正急剧上升。截至目前，已报告超过900例疑似病例和200多例疑似死亡病例。

上述官员称，肯尼亚的该设施将用于接待曾接触病毒但仍无症状的高风险美国公民。官员们向记者透露，该设施还将为出现症状的美国公民提供更高级的治疗与支持，直至他们被转运至其他国家。
这位官员表示，需要转运的患者将被送往第三国，而非美国，此举是为了加快转运速度并保护国内民众。他们否认这项决定是出于政治动机。
美国国务卿马可·卢比奥周三曾表示：“我们无法也绝不会允许任何埃博拉病例进入美国”。美国上周已对过去21天内曾前往刚果（金）、乌干达或南苏丹的旅客实施入境限制，包括拥有合法永久居留权的绿卡持有者。
美国官员称，经肯尼亚政府批准的该隔离设施将于周五正式启用，初期设有50个床位，计划后续增设两个生物安全隔离单元（每个可容纳2名患者）以及三个隔离单元（每个可容纳4名患者）。

World Health Organization’s (WHO) workers mobilise 4.7 tonnes of essential medical supplies and emergency kits to support the affected regions in response to the Ebola outbreak in the Democratic Republic of Congo from the Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (JKIA) in Nairobi, Kenya May 18, 2026.

WASHINGTON, May 28 (Reuters) – The U.S. is setting up a facility in Kenya to quarantine U.S. citizens who have been exposed to Ebola, and will not be transporting those who develop symptoms to the United States, senior administration officials said on Thursday.
The World Health Organization declared the Bundibugyo strain of Ebola, for which there is no approved vaccine or treatment, an emergency of international concern this month and cases are rising sharply. More than 900 suspected cases and more than 200 suspected deaths have been reported so far.

The Kenya facility is for high-risk Americans who have been exposed to the virus but are still asymptomatic, the officials said. It will also be equipped to provide more advanced care and support for U.S. citizens who develop symptoms until they are evacuated, the officials told reporters.
Patients who need to be evacuated will be taken to third countries, not the United States, the official said, because it is faster, and to protect Americans at home. They denied the decision was politically motivated.
Secretary of State Marco Rubio had said on Wednesday that “we cannot and will not allow any cases of Ebola to enter the United States” and the U.S. last week imposed entry restrictions on travelers who have been in the Democratic Republic of Congo, Uganda, or South Sudan in the past 21 days, including lawful permanent residents, known as green card holders.
The facility, approved by the Kenyan government, will become operational on Friday with a 50-bed unit, the U.S. officials said, with plans to add two biocontainment units, each capable of holding two patients, and three isolation units, each capable of holding four patients.
