Kenya has been listed among 10 African countries at high risk of an Ebola outbreak as the virus continues to spread across the region.
Other countries identified by the Africa Centres for Disease Control and Prevention (Africa CDC) include Angola, Burundi, the Central African Republic, the Republic of Congo, Ethiopia, Rwanda, South Sudan, Tanzania and Zambia.
Africa CDC Director-General Dr Jean Kaseya said the classification followed a meeting between Africa CDC and health ministers from Uganda, South Sudan and the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), held in Kampala, Uganda.
He said the discussions focused on assessing the risks posed by the Bundibugyo strain of Ebola and identifying countries most likely to be affected.
