The Ursuline Convent is reportedly making plans for a High Court challenge to the proposed setting up of an Ebola isolation centre which is feet away from the school at Collymore Rock, St Michael.

According to sources, lawyers representing the school are to file an application for an injunction seeking to halt the proposed operation of the centre, which is also to become a permanent infectious disease unit.
