Two North Carolina-based missionary groups have
ordered the evacuation of their non-essential personnel from Liberia after a
doctor and a missionary contracted Ebola.
SIM USA President Bruce Johnson announced Tuesday that
his group and Samaritan's Purse decided on the evacuation following an upsurge
in the number of Ebola cases in Liberia. Johnson said the logistics of the
evacuation are being determined.
Spokesman Palmer Holt said approximately 60 employees
will be evacuated. A statement from SIM says none of the evacuees is displaying
any symptoms of Ebola, but all are being monitored continually.
