Kenya’s Health Ministry says it has heightened screening along its western border points following the Ebola outbreak in neighboring Uganda.

Acting Director-General for Health, Dr. Patrick Amoth, while speaking to journalists urged Kenyans to minimize cross-border movements in order to minimize the risk of spreading the deadly disease.

Dr. Amoth’s remarks came as tests on a suspected case of Ebola in the western county of Kakamega returned negative results.

The patient, a thirty-two-year-old man who had recently traveled to Uganda, remains in isolation in accordance with health guidelines.
