Kenya: Ebola

The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, what steps have been taken to assist UK citizens who are currently in, or have recently visited Kenya regarding the spread of Ebola.

Answered by Chris Elmore

In relation to risks to the UK public, I refer the Hon Member to my statement to the House on 21 May (HCWS60), but I would also stress that there have been no confirmed cases in Kenya arising from the current Ebola outbreak. The Foreign Commonwealth & Development Office travel advice page for Kenya has been updated to refer to health screening measures in Kenya.
