The government has put in place measures to contain the Ebola virus, as the World Health Organisation says the disease has so far killed 82 people.
WHO Director-General Tedros Ghebreyesus said suspected deaths could be as high as 17 in the Democratic Republic of Congo and Uganda, while about 750 cases remain unconfirmed.
Yesterday, the Ministry of Health said it had identified 22 high-risk counties, including Busia, Bungoma, Trans Nzoia, Mombasa and Turkana.
In addition, public health emergency centers have been activated at both levels of government, with screening intensified at all border points.
