More than 220 people have died in a suspected Ebola outbreak, with over 900 suspected cases reported.
This comes even as Kenya has been listed among 10 high-risk Ebola countries because of trade ties and migration.
World Health Organisation (WHO) Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said there are so far 101 confirmed cases of the Bundibugyo strain in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC).
Addressing the Africa Centres for Disease Control and Prevention (Africa CDC) on Monday, Dr Tedros said the cases were spreading rapidly.
