The official spoke on condition of anonymity to share the administration\u2019s plans. It was unclear where in Kenya the new facility will be built or whether the Kenyan government has signed off on the plan.<\/p>\n<p>The Kenyan government only revealed discussions with the U.S. on support for Ebola preparedness but did not address the facility. The U.S. government intends to commit $13.5 million toward Kenya\u2019s Ebola preparedness efforts, Secretary of State Marco Rubio said in a statement.<\/p>\n<p>The High Court in Nairobi on Friday put a stop to any deal on the Ebola facility until petitions against it are heard on Tuesday.<\/p>\n<p>An organization formed to defend Kenya\u2019s Constitution, Katiba Institute, and the Kenya Law Society separately challenged any presence of Ebola-related facilities. The Kenya Law Society asked the court to nullify any agreements signed between the U.S. and Kenya on the project, citing public health risks and a lack of public participation.<\/p>\n<p>It also said that Kenya lacks \u201cthe high-containment infrastructure required to safely manage such a facility, exposing the public to serious health risks.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/siliconvalleymovingpost.com\/?p=10379\">Pam Bondi to face closed-door questioning from House lawmakers over Epstein files<\/a><\/p>\n<p>A Kenyan doctors\u2019 union on Thursday issued a 48-hour strike notice should the country proceed with the deal.

But the virus had been spreading undetected for weeks and the WHO suspects it is much larger than what has been reported.<\/p>\n<p>The virus also has reached neighboring Uganda, which has confirmed seven cases and one death.<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/siliconvalleymovingpost.com\/?p=10374\">Tomatoes become latest symbol of America\u2019s affordability squeeze<\/a><\/p>\n<div>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A court in Kenya has suspended a U.S. plan to establish a quarantine facility for Americans exposed to a rare Ebola virus in Congo.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":10382,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[43,2],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-10383","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-based-on-facts-either-observed-and-verified-directly-by-the-reporter-or-reported-and-verified-from-knowledgeable-sources","category-news"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.5 -
