A U.S.-backed Ebola quarantine facility has become operational in Kenya to isolate American citizens evacuated from the Democratic Republic of Congo, according to activists, despite a court order issued last month halting construction of the site 1. The facility is located at Laikipia Air Force Base 1.
Seven American workers evacuated from Congo are currently undergoing a 21-day quarantine at the center, as confirmed by the charitable organization Samaritan's Purse 1. Kenya's health ministry had suspended construction following the court's directive 1, yet operations have proceeded.
