There has been panic in the country over Ebola in the last few days, although the disease has yet to be detected locally.

In Laikipia County, there have been protests by hundreds of people following reports that the United States (US) government is setting up an Ebola quarantine and treatment centre at the Laikipia Air Base for its citizens exposed to the Ebola virus.

Elsewhere, reports that a patient with Ebola-like symptoms had been admitted to a Nairobi hospital caused panic in the city and beyond on Tuesday. Tests showed he had not contracted Ebola.
