The U.S. military plans to equip some of its transport aircraft with new isolation chambers to safely carry as many as 12 people infected with the Ebola virus.
“That is a new capability that will be available in the next couple of weeks,” Air Force General Paul Selva, head of the Transportation Command, said today. The prototype was made by Production Products Manufacturing & Sales Co., a closely held St. Louis-based company that manufactures safety and protective apparel and shelters.
