Kenya is intensifying its Ebola preparedness by ensuring quarantine centres are fully operational, particularly in high-risk border areas. This comes as health authorities heighten surveillance due to reported Ebola cases in neighbouring Uganda.

• Public Health Principal Secretary Mary Muthoni stressed the government's commitment to making quarantine facilities operational "at whatever cost".
• Health officials have intensified screening of approximately 300 trucks that pass through the Malaba Border daily.
• Kenya has investigated 59 suspected Ebola cases to date, all of which have tested negative.
