WHO marks Kenya as Ebola high-risk zone

The World Health Organisation (WHO) has categorised Kenya as a high-risk area for Ebola transmission, piling pressure on the need for a multi-million-shilling response and Kenya Airways asked to suspend flights from West Africa.

The WHO Country representative in Kenya Custodia Mandhate said Kenya is classified as Level 2, which means a high-risk area for the transmission category from countries in West Africa hit by the lethal Ebola epidemic.
