The Ministry of Health will begin releasing the first contacts of Kenya’s Ebola outbreak from quarantine on Sunday, October 25, after they complete the mandatory 21-day monitoring period without developing symptoms.
Director General for Health Dr Patrick Amoth said the contacts who remain in good health will be reunited with their families as the country continues to record no new infections.
Amoth, in an update on Thursday, confirmed that 14 samples tested in the past 24 hours from suspected cases reported in different parts of the country had returned negative results.
