The Ministry of Health released a public advisory on 3 November urging all Kenyan workplaces to protect staff, customers and surrounding communities through awareness and preventive measures against the Bundibugyo Ebola strain.

Employers, supervisors, security officers, cleaners, contractors and other workers are asked to familiarize themselves with recommended safety practices and treat everyone with dignity while following the guidance.

Key preventive actions highlighted include proper handwashing, early reporting of suspected infections and strict compliance with official health instructions.

Anyone developing symptoms or suspecting exposure should avoid direct contact with others and seek immediate guidance by calling 719, dialing *719# or sending a WhatsApp message to 0700 719 719.

The advisory follows the government's ongoing response to nine recorded Ebola cases, including two deaths, with no new cases reported since 19 October.

Health Cabinet Secretary Aden Duale confirmed that 46 identified contacts have completed the 21‑day monitoring period and will be released, while 52 remain under observation.

To bolster surveillance, the ministry has expanded monitoring to 26 entry points, trained over 4,900 health workers and set up 349 rapid response teams.

Five laboratories are now designated for Ebola testing, and UNICEF has supplied more than 43,000 pieces of personal protective equipment, additional health supplies and 25 public health personnel.
