The Ministry of Health said that 56 samples collected from alerts involving people with a travel history of the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) and Uganda have tested negative of the Ebola virus.
In a statement Health CS Aden Duale said that Kenya has so far screened more than 80,000 travellers including 3,969 in the last 24 hours.
He says the government has intensified national preparedness and response measures to safeguard Kenyans from the disease due to its close proximity to the two countries and South Sudan.
The country has as close connectivity to the three nations through trade, transport, and population movement.
