Government flags 12 counties as high-risk amid Ebola vigilance

The government has identified 12 counties as being at very high risk of an Ebola outbreak as Kenya intensifies efforts to keep the deadly virus out of the country. Public Health Principal Secretary Mary Muthoni says no Ebola case has been confirmed in Kenya so far, although 22 suspected cases have undergone testing. Authorities have heightened surveillance at border entry points even as Uganda's Ebola caseload rises to 15 following the confirmation of six new infections.
