NAIROBI, Kenya Nov 2 – The government is expected to release 46 people who have been under quarantine over the Ebola outbreak on Tuesday,, as it intensifies diplomatic efforts to persuade Saudi Arabia to lift travel restrictions imposed on the country.
The planned discharge will follow the completion of the mandatory 21-day monitoring period by the contacts, provided they remain free of symptoms.
Health Cabinet Secretary Aden Duale said the government was also optimistic that five of the seven patients still receiving treatment would be discharged alongside the contacts after returning a second negative Ebola test.
