Kenya’s First Suspected Ebola Patient Tests Negative as Surveillance Expands

Kenya’s first suspected Ebola patient, a truck driver with recent travel from the Democratic Republic of Congo, tested negative in May, according to health officials. The case prompted isolation, laboratory testing, contact tracing, and preparations for an emergency treatment unit in Eldoret.

Separately, protests erupted over a planned Ebola quarantine center, with demonstrators raising concerns about transparency and infection risks. No confirmed Kenyan Ebola case was reported
