The Ministry of Health has ruled out an Ebola Virus Disease case after a Turkish national presenting with Ebola-like symptoms checked into AAR Hospital along Kiambu Road on Monday.
Laboratory tests on the patient returned negative, the latest in a series of Ebola scares across the country that have all cleared.
Public Health Principal Secretary Mary Muthoni in a statement on Wednesday, June 3, said 18 samples collected from Ebola alerts in several counties, including Nairobi, Kiambu, Uasin Gishu, Nyeri, Nakuru, Nyamira, West Pokot and Kisumu, have all tested negative.
