KENYA RANKED AS A HIGH RISK AREA FOR EBOLA ATTACK

The World Health Organisation (WHO) has categorised Kenya as a high risk area for Ebola transmission.
WHO representative in Kenya Dr Custodia Mandhate said Kenya is classified as level 2, which means a high risk area for transmission category.
She commended efforts by the Ministry of Health to screen passengers jetting into the country at Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (JKIA) from countries with Ebola but called for additional measures to prevent the virus from spreading
Mean while  Health Cabinet Secretary James Macharia said banning Kenya Airways from flying to West Africa will not help stop the spread of the virus.
He said other airlines such as RwandaAir and Ethiopian Airlines are flying the route and land at JKIA
Travellers have raised concern over “poor” screening of passengers from Ebola-hit countries at the Jomo Kenyatta International Airport, which they fear could increase the possibility of the deadly disease spreading into Kenya.
Kenyans returning home turned to social media to protest at the lack of proper screening at the JKIA and urged airport bosses and airline managers to protect the public from the deadly disease that has caused panic across the world.
