A Kenyan court has issued a temporary suspension on the opening of a quarantine centre designated for US nationals potentially exposed to Ebola. This decision came after a rights group filed a petition opposing the facility, which was scheduled to commence operations on the same day. According to US officials, the centre was intended to serve as a precautionary measure for Americans arriving from the Democratic Republic of Congo, where an outbreak of Ebola is currently ongoing. The court's ruling has delayed the implementation of this public health initiative.
