Two humanitarian aid workers infected with the Ebola virus that has swept West Africa and killed more than 700 people are headed home to the United States, officials said Thursday.
A private jet equipped with a quarantine pod left Cartersville, Ga., Thursday afternoon headed for Liberia to evacuate Dr. Kent Brantly and Nancy Writebol, CNN reported.
Brantly and Writebol, both Americans working for the faith-base charity Samaritan’s Purse, are said to be in stable but grave condition.
The two volunteers came down with the deadly virus while caring for patients with Ebola at a hospital in Monrovia, Liberia.
