Inside Kenya's Ebola defences as seven Americans enter quarantine

Seven American humanitarian workers from Samaritan's Purse are undergoing a 21-day quarantine in Kenya after returning from the Democratic Republic of Congo, where they worked during an Ebola outbreak. They are asymptomatic and have not tested positive for the virus, but U.S. public health regulations require them to remain in quarantine. Their presence has sparked discussions about Kenya's readiness for potential outbreaks. Infectious disease experts highlight that Kenya has been preparing for such scenarios through measures like training healthcare workers, ensuring proper protective equipment, and maintaining laboratory capabilities. A visit to Kenyatta National Hospital revealed strict infection control protocols, though access to certain areas was restricted for safety reasons.
