Two US aid workers who contracted the deadly Ebola virus in Africa have been brought home for treatment despite tycoon Donald Trump's attempt to raise an outcry against their return.
US media reports say the pair, Kent Brantly and Nancy Writebol, will be treated at a secure Atlanta hospital that will prevent the spread of the highly contagious disease.
However, business magnate Trump took to Twitter to call for the workers' exclusion from the country.
He wrote: "Stop the EBOLA patients from entering the U.S. Treat them, at the highest level, over there. THE UNITED STATES HAS ENOUGH PROBLEMS!"
However, his comments provoked a storm of criticism from other users.
The Emory Hotel in Atlanta has one of four top-line modern isolation units built in the US, where the patients will be housed and treated.
There is no specific treatment for Ebola, but the patients will be kept hydrated and comfortable.
