A court in Kenya has suspended a US plan to establish a quarantine facility for Americans exposed to a rare type of Ebola virus, as WKBW reports on the latest developments in the story. The plan had been met with opposition from local residents, who were concerned about the potential risks associated with the facility.
According to the report, the court suspended the plan on Friday, citing concerns about the potential impact on the local community.
