    Kenya has identified 10 African countries whose passengers will now undergo enhanced screening as the country steps up surveillance following its first confirmed Ebola case. Travellers from the Democratic Republic of Congo, Uganda, Burundi, Rwanda, Ethiopia, South Sudan, Angola, the Central African Republic, Zambia and Tanzania will now use a designated gate at Jomo Kenyatta International Airport. The government says the measures are intended to detect potential cases early, as health authorities trace contacts of the Kenyan man who died after returning from the Democratic Republic of Congo. Mary Muoki reports.
