Travellers entering or departing Kenya will be required to undergo screening and provide accurate contact details, travel history, symptoms and possible exposure information. This helps health teams detect risk early and protect the public.
Public cooperation is essential. Provide truthful information, report symptoms early, follow guidance from health teams and rely on official Ministry of Health updates.
The Gazette notice gives Kenya the legal framework to act quickly on Ebola prevention, detection and response. It supports screening, contact tracing, testing, isolation, quarantine and public communication.
The National Multi-Agency Ebola Taskforce met to strengthen coordination of Kenya’s response. Priorities remain case management, isolation and quarantine readiness, risk communication, commodities, partner coordination and protection of frontline health workers.
One imported Ebola case. One death. Know the facts and call 719 for guidance.

Engaged IGAD, led by Amb. (Dr.) Fatuma Adan, on strengthening Kenya’s Ebola preparedness and response. Cross-border coordination, surveillance and information sharing remain critical to preventing, detecting and responding to public health threats.
This morning’s Ebola IMST meeting focused on strengthening the national response architecture and aligning the proposed Ebola Taskforce structure for rapid adoption and execution.
Containment depends on every part of the system working together public health surveillance, laboratories, clinicians, emergency response teams, county structures and clear risk communication to the public.
