Kenya court halts US plan for Ebola quarantine

A court in Kenya has suspended a U.S. plan to establish a quarantine facility for Americans exposed to a rare Ebola virus in northeastern Congo.
The decision came on Friday after backlash from medical workers and activists.
The U.S. intended to send affected and exposed individuals to Kenya instead of flying them home.
The Kenyan government has only acknowledged discussions about Ebola preparedness, not the facility itself.
The High Court in Nairobi halted any agreements until petitions are heard on Tuesday.
The Kenya Law Society and Katiba Institute challenged the facility, citing public health risks and lack of public participation.
