The Trump administration is working with Kenya to set up a quarantine facility there for people believed to have been exposed to Ebola, an administration official told The Epoch Times via email on May 27.

“As part of a coordinated multi-national response to the worsening Ebola health emergency, the U.S. government is working with the Government of Kenya and other partners to plan for a facility for asymptomatic individuals suspected of exposure to the Ebola virus,” the official, speaking on condition of anonymity, said.
