Five Ebola patients discharged from hospital after completing treatment

Five Ebola patients in the country have completed their treatment and have been released from hospital. The Ministry of Health says the five, all male, who had been receiving treatment at Kenyatta National Hospital and The Nairobi Hospital, are symptom-free and have cleared the virus. At the same time, the ministry has also released 46 contacts who had been quarantined after completing their monitoring without developing symptoms, meaning that they cannot transmit the disease. Health CS Aden Duale says Kenya is keenly working to lift the travel ban by Saudi Arabia, which was informed by the presence of Ebola in Kenya.
