no symptoms
The Dutch show no symptoms of the disease. But since three weeks may take longer clear whether someone is infected hit, it's even more not to say that the doctors have acquired Ebola.

The doctors want as quickly as possible back to the Netherlands, said the father-in-law of one of the two to the Press.

The problem is that the two because of the risk of spreading the disease is not a regular flight back to the Netherlands can.

Protocols are provided
How and when the Dutch could return at this time so is not clear. The Director of the Lion Heart Foundation performs 'day and night' agreement to return possible. A spokesman said the RIVM also at this time not to know whether and when the two come back.

RIVM said that the Netherlands are well prepared for the arrival of the physicians.

Kenya defies AU decision on Ebola-hit countries

Kenya is not planning to lift the ban on entry of nationals from West African countries worst hit by the Ebola epidemic.
This comes even after the African Union leaders made a decision to have the ban on some countries lifted.
An emergency meeting of the AU's executive council on Tuesday to address the Ebola crisis, ruled that the ban on cross-border movement of people among member states should be lifted despite the disease raging in West Africa. The meeting was held in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, in which Kenyan officials participated.
"We have agreed that countries allow people to move. Fighting Ebola must be done in a manner that doesn't fuel isolation or lead to the stigmatisation of victims, communities and countries," Nkosazana Dlamini-Zuma, chairperson of the AU Commission said after the meeting.
Thursday, Director of Medical Services Nicholas Muraguri said the ban would stay in place until the Health ministry is convinced there is no risk of transmission of the deadly disease to Kenyans.
"We appreciate and respect the decision taken at AU, but individual countries have a leeway to determine their course of action depending on assessment of risks. For now, we still deem the risks to be too high to lift the ban," Dr Muraguri said Thursday.

He added: "But we are open to lifting the ban at some future date in line with the AU recommendation depending on how the situation evolves. The priority for us now to prevent the disease from reaching Kenya."
Kenya is among African countries that have banned entry of people from West Africa regions worst-hit by Ebola including Guinea, Liberia and Sierra Leona.
This came after strong public pressure from Kenyans who feared Ebola might have been brought into the country by people originating from those countries.
Thursday, Muraguri added that despite an Ebola outbreak in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), they have not decided to ban nationals and travellers from there, but said the situation might change in future if the disease spreads widely within that country.
Next week, Transport, Immigration and Foreign ministers of countries in the East African region are expected to meet in Nairobi to harmonise their plans against the virus. http://www.standardmedia.co.ke/health/article/2000134669/kenya-defies-au-decision-on-ebola-hit-countries

4th Sierra Leonean doctor infected with Ebola;1ST Foreign dr to come to America for teatment

Published September 11, 2014

Another doctor from Sierra Leone who has tested positive for Ebola will be evacuated for medical treatment, an official said Thursday, making her the first citizen of a hard-hit country to be treated abroad.
Dr. Olivette Buck is the fourth Sierra Leonean doctor to contract the disease - and the three others all have died. Arrangements are being made to send her to another country for better treatment, said Health Ministry spokesman Sidie Yahya Tunis without specifying further.

So far, only foreign health and aid workers have been evacuated abroad for treatment from Sierra Leone and Liberia. The worst Ebola outbreak in history also has hit Guinea, Nigeria and Senegal, and has been blamed for more than 2,200 deaths across West Africa.
The disease is taking a particularly heavy toll on health care workers, whose jobs put them at high risk because Ebola is only transmitted through contact with the bodily fluids of people showing symptoms or dead bodies. More than 135 health workers have died in the outbreak so far, exacerbating shortages of doctors and nurses in countries that already had too few medical workers to begin with.
Sierra Leone and Liberia have been especially hard hit, and officials have warned that both countries could see a surge in cases soon. Sierra Leone is expecting to uncover potentially hundreds of new cases when volunteers go house to house looking for the sick during a three-day lockdown later this month. The World Health Organization has said Liberia could see many thousands of new cases in the coming weeks.
To keep up with the accelerating infection rate, Liberian Information Minister Lewis Brown told a news conference Thursday that the capital region alone needs 1,000 beds.
That squares with a World Health Organization estimate from earlier this week. The U.N. health agency said the county where Monrovia is located currently has only 240 beds, with 260 more on the way - only half of what's needed.
The tremendous fear surrounding the disease and the extreme measures used to contain it - like the cordoning off of entire towns for days - has led to sharp criticism of Liberia's government and even calls for the president to step down. But Brown urged Liberians to unite, warning that if they didn't, "this virus will consume all of us."
"We are at war with an enemy that we don't see," Finance Minister Amara Konneh told reporters. "And we have to win the war."
But he said Liberia would be dependent on international assistance to do so. The U.N. has said at least $600 million is needed to fight Ebola in West Africa, and already several pledges have come in. The United States has spent $100 million so far, with more promised, and Britain has given $40 million.
On Thursday, Cuba's health minister was meeting with the World Health Organization's director to discuss how it could help. Cuba has a relatively advanced medical education system and for decades has dispatched thousands of doctors to the world's developing countries. There were no details on what help it would be providing, but experts say the outbreak is desperately short of health care workers.
Konneh, the finance minister, also told The Associated Press in an interview that the outbreak has ravaged Liberia's already fragile economy, and the government predicts the crisis will more than halve the growth rate this year. He added that the government also hopes the international community will help rebuild Liberia after the crisis passes.
An unrelated Ebola outbreak in Congo is thought to have killed 35 people of the more than 60 sickened, according to the World Health Organization  http://www.foxnews.com/health/2014/09/11/4th-sierra-leonean-doctor-infected-with-ebola/
