Kenya is stepping up Ebola surveillance at its entry points due to heightened global concerns, while simultaneously managing a widespread Mpox outbreak that has now reached 40 counties.

• As of September 6, Kenya has recorded 1,298 confirmed Mpox cases and 19 deaths.
• The Ministry of Interior and the Ministry of Health are leading preparedness efforts, including designating four laboratories for Ebola testing.
• Seven counties, including Mombasa and Nairobi, have been identified as high-risk for Mpox due to their proximity to borders and transport hubs.
