Nairobi. A Kenyan High Court has extended by three weeks an order blocking the construction and operation of a proposed US-linked Ebola quarantine facility, while directing the government to disclose full details of its agreement with Washington.
The 50-bed isolation unit, planned at a military air base in Nanyuki in central Kenya, was intended to receive American citizens exposed to Ebola in outbreaks in the Democratic Republic of Congo and Uganda.
The proposal has sparked widespread public concern, with critics accusing the United States of attempting to shift health risks to Kenya.
