Africa CDC urges Saudi Arabia to review Ebola travel restrictions imposed on Kenya

The Africa Centres for Disease Control and Prevention (Africa CDC) has called on Saudi Arabia to reconsider its Ebola-related travel restrictions on Kenya, emphasizing that public health measures should be guided by scientific evidence rather than fear. Africa CDC stated that Kenya has demonstrated strong leadership and transparency in responding to its imported Ebola cases, with no new confirmed cases reported since October 19, 2026, and no evidence of sustained community transmission.
