Kenya has challenged Saudi Arabia’s decision to suspend travel by its citizens to the country and halt the issuance of visas to Kenyan travellers over the Ebola outbreak.
In a statement issued, Health Cabinet Secretary Aden Duale described the move as excessive and unsupported by the current epidemiological situation in the country.
The CS said Kenya had contained the outbreak within a single cluster, with no evidence of community transmission and no new infections reported since October 19, 2026.
