Kenya's Health Minister Aden Duale assured a Kenyan court on Tuesday that he had ordered an immediate halt to the construction of a US-backed Ebola quarantine facility at an air base.
Duale had been found in contempt of court on Monday for failing to observe previous orders to suspend the construction pending an evaluation by the judiciary.
The tented facility in the central town of Nanyuki was supposed to serve as a treatment center for US nationals should any contract Ebola amid the outbreak in the Democratic Republic of Congo.
The plans to build it, first announced in May, had led to sometimes violent protests, with a total of three people being killed in the vicinity.
What else do we know about the paused plans?
