The doctors and nurses who treated Kenya’s first Ebola patient say they are being quarantined where the person died, despite following protocols and reporting no breach in their protective gear.
In a statement, the eight Nairobi Hospital workers said their concern is that the current arrangements do not distinguish between people according to their level of exposure, putting some of them at new risk.
“Our concern is specific. Everyone who interacted with the patient is being handled as if they carry the same risk,” they said.
