He had travelled from the DRC through Uganda before arriving in Nairobi, passing screening without being identified as a suspected case. Health officials have listed 57 contacts, quarantined 10 and stepped up surveillance; the WHO is supporting the response. Preparedness: The Health Ministry has suspended hotel-based meetings and is directing resources towards contact tracing and emergency readiness. The case has renewed concern about screening gaps across the region, despite Kenya’s preparations, including trained health workers and designated treatment hospitals.
