Keniassa pidätettiin useita ihmisiä tiistaina mielenosoituksissa ebolaa varten perustettavaa karanteenikeskusta vastaan.
Yhdysvallat aikoo rakentaa maahan karanteenikeskuksen. Keskus rakennetaan Laikipian lentotukikohdan yhteyteen Mount Kenyan juurelle. Sinne on tarkoitus viedä karanteeniin Kongon demokraattisesta tasavallasta saapuvia yhdysvaltalaisia.
Keniassa ei ole todettu yhtään ebolatapausta, ja monet vastustavat ajatusta mahdollisten taudinkantajien tuomisesta maahan.
Ihmisoikeusjärjestöjen mukaan kaksi ihmistä kuoli kesäkuun ensimmäisenä päivänä pidetyissä mielenosoituksissa. Kuolemien olosuhteet ovat yhä epäselvät.
Karanteenikeskuksen rakennustyöt on keskeytetty väliaikaisesti Kenian korkeimman oikeuden määräyksellä. Presidentti William Ruton hallitus on kuitenkin luvannut projektia jatkettavan vedoten siihen, että Kenia on velkaa Yhdysvalloille vuosien avusta ja tuesta. Kenian terveysministeri on korostanut, että keskus tulee palvelemaan sekä kenialaisia että yhdysvaltalaisia.
Maailman terveysjärjestö WHO on julistanut ebolan kansainväliseksi terveysuhaksi Kongon demokraattisen tasavallan ebolaepidemian vuoksi. Epidemiassa on todettu 515 vahvistettua tartuntaa, joista 91 on johtanut kuolemaan.
Kongon naapurimaissa tartuntatapauksia on toistaiseksi todettu vain Ugandassa, missä on vahvistettu 19 tartuntaa.

Yle UutisetState / PublicCenter2 days agoSeventy-five healthcare workers have contracted Ebola in the Democratic Republic of Congo following an outbreak this year, according to the World Health Organization (WHO). Seventeen of them have died. The epidemic likely spread for several months before officials declared it on May 15, leaving healthcare workers inadequately protected. There is also a shortage of protective equipment such as gloves and masks, and a lack of healthcare personnel, with only 11 workers per 10,000 people compared to Finland's much higher ratio.
