Kenya has declared itself free of Ebola patients after the Ministry of Health announced that all seven patients who tested positive for the virus have recovered and been discharged from hospital.

Health Cabinet Secretary Aden Duale said five patients were discharged on November 3, another on November 6, while the last patient was discharged on Wednesday.

He added that all 135 people who had come into contact with the person who brought the disease into the country had completed health monitoring and been released from quarantine centres.

However, the government said it would continue screening travellers at all 26 points of entry across the country. So far, more than 760,000 travellers have been screened.

Ebola was first detected in Kenya on October 3, 2026, with a total of nine infections and two deaths reported.
