Kenya Court Halts US Plan for Ebola Quarantine Facility for Americans
The order is temporary, at least for now.
TL;DR
- Kenya's High Court has suspended a planned facility for Americans exposed to Ebola.
- The order, issued by Judge Patricia Nyaundi, prevents officials from establishing, operationalizing, facilitating, approving, or permitting the facility.
- The suspension is in place as litigation against the plan proceeds.
- Filings are due soon, and a hearing is scheduled for June 2.
- The Kenyan government and the White House have not yet publicly responded to the order.
