U.S. Moves Ebola Exposure Quarantine Offshore Into Kenya

The U.S. is setting up a quarantine facility in Kenya for Americans exposed to Ebola abroad instead of isolating them on arrival in the United States

Kenya approved the arrangement but local courts have already suspended implementation

The plan is designed to isolate exposed individuals before any entry into the U.S. system

Public opposition in Kenya is focused on importing outbreak risk into a country with no active Ebola cases

The result is a containment model that pushes exposure management outside U.S. borders before repatriation
