Obama: US can't shy away from Ebola battle

Washington - President Barack Obama said on Tuesday that the
United States can't be seen as shying away from battle against
Ebola and must support health care workers who are returning
from the front lines in Africa.
Obama did not directly criticise quarantine policies for returning
health care workers implemented in the states of New York and
New Jersey, but he said monitoring of those who come back from
the fight needs to prudent and "based in science".
"We don't want to discourage our health care workers from going
to the front lines and dealing with this in an effective way," he
said.
Obama said a robust response in Africa will stop the spread of
the disease in the United States. He reminded Americans only
two people have contracted the disease in the US and both are
now disease-free.
