Swazi Observer: Nurses will not attend to Ebola patients - SWADNU 11/6/2014

....in what can be seen as a disregard for the Nightingale Pledge which they took before being admitted to the profession, Mamba said nurses would not risk their lives attending to anybody suspected to be infected with the infectious disease which has ravaged some parts of West Africa infecting more than 4 000 people in its wake

ALL healthcare workers have been advised not to attend to anyone with or showing symptoms similar to that of Ebola.
Swaziland Democratic Nurses Union (SWADNU) President Bheki Mamba said this during a press conference held at Umtfunti Guest House yesterday afternoon

Stars&Stripes: Pentagon names military bases as Ebola troop quarantine sites
11/7/2014

WASHINGTON — The Pentagon said Friday it has designated five military bases inside the U.S. and two in Europe as quarantine areas for troops returning from the Ebola-response mission in West Africa.

Servicemembers will be isolated for 21 days at Joint Base Lewis-McChord, Washington; Fort Bragg, North Carolina; Fort Hood and Fort Bliss, Texas; and Joint Base Langley-Eustis, Virginia to check for symptoms of the deadly virus, Pentagon press secretary Rear Adm. John Kirby said. Army garrisons in Baumholder, Germany, and Vicenza, Italy, will also be quarantine sites.
[snip]
Plans finalized Friday allow quarantine exemptions for servicemembers who travel through Africa briefly and have limited contact with people there, such as staff traveling with senior officials who are only there for a day or two, according to The Associated Press.

Under the new plans, civilians in the fight against Ebola will now be able to get medical treatment on military bases and free treatment from hospitals in the United States, Kirby said.
More than 1,900 Defense Department personnel are deployed to Africa, with the majority in Liberia and small contingent in Senegal, and that number could climb to 4,000
