Health CS Aden Duale has said that tests on three individuals and four contacts suspected to have contracted Ebola have turned out negative after tests.
Speaking on Friday at Afya House the CS said that the three individuals had a history of recent travels to the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) while the four contacts accompanied them to the hospital.
“I wish to reassure all Kenyans that, as of 21st May 2026, Kenya has not reported any confirmed case of Ebola Virus Disease,” he said.
This comes amid rising cases and reported deaths from the Bundibugyo Ebola Virus Disease (EVD) in DRC and Uganda.
