Kenya's High Court Issues Emergency Order to Halt U.S. Ebola Isolation Facilities on May 29

According to Jin10, Kenya's High Court issued a temporary ban on May 29, prohibiting the government from establishing or operating Ebola-related isolation, quarantine, and treatment facilities in cooperation with the U.S. or other foreign governments. The court also barred the government from receiving, transporting, or facilitating the entry of Ebola contact persons and infected individuals into Kenya under such arrangements, pending the conclusion of legal proceedings.

The U.S. had announced on May 28 that isolation wards set up in Kenya would become operational on May 29 to accommodate American citizens at risk of Ebola exposure, amid ongoing regional outbreak activity.
