Following extensive news coverage in the international media about
the outbreak of Ebola in West Africa, we are advised by the medical
authorities that the situation is as follows:
The current
outbreak of Ebola in West Africa was first reported in March 2014, and
involves Guinea, Liberia, Nigeria and Sierra Leone.
Kenya is not affected by the outbreak of Ebola as there has never been any recorded case of Ebola in this country.
The
affected countries are on the extreme West of the African Continent,
thousands of kilometres from Kenya and indeed Liberia, Sierra Leone and
Guinea are closer to Madrid, Paris and London than they are to Kenya in
East Africa.
From Tuesday 18th August Kenya Airways
will suspend temporarily all its flights to Liberia and Sierra Leone on
the advice of Kenya's Ministry of Health as a measure to prevent the
spread of Ebola from those countries until the outbreak there has been
brought under control. The Kenya government also announced other
restrictions because of the ongoing Ebola outbreak in West Africa and is
temporarily suspending entry into Kenya of any passengers who have
passed through Sierra Leone, Guinea and Liberia. Read more
