Rubio says US cannot allow any Ebola cases to enter the country

The United States must prevent any cases of Ebola from entering the country from the Democratic Republic of Congo, where an outbreak has already caused a suspected 220 deaths and 900 cases, Secretary of State Marco Rubio said on Wednesday.

"We cannot and will not allow any cases of Ebola ⁠to enter the United States," Rubio told President Donald Trump at a cabinet meeting.

"The State Department and other agencies represented here, the Centers for Disease Control, HHS, others, are working very, very hard to contain this crisis to the countries where it's currently located, particularly the Democratic ⁠Republic of the Congo, and so we surged assistance to make sure that it is being contained there," Rubio said.
