Kenyans in border town 'afraid' of Ebola risk after first death

Here in the Kenyan border town of Busia, authorities are stepping up screening for people entering the country from Uganda. Earlier this month, Kenya reported its first ever death from Ebola. The victim had just returned from DR Congo via Uganda. And that's making people nervous. I heard Ebola killed so many in Congo, sweeping it clean. So I'm very afraid of seeing people crossing the border anyhow without proper care. I'm afraid Ebola may finish me and my entire family lineage. The DRC is in the midst of its worst ever Ebola outbreak. The virus has been detected in seven provinces, including many remote areas. I plead with Kenya and Ugandan governments to move these measures deep down into the villages. For those of us coming to town we get tested and screened but those who don't travel from village to towns how will they get tested and treatment but some kenyans are reassured by the swift measures taken by authorities to stem the risk of contagion the ebola victim was buried in line with public health standards many of his contacts have been traced and none has yet tested positive for the virus One case, and according to what the government has done, I think they have already taken the people who are in contact with that person, and I think that was a good measure. Right now, I've not heard anything, even when I was here in Busia. At least the country is safe. The country is safe. So Canada, welcome again. Don't fear. We are free. But the question remains of how the Ebola patient was allowed to travel from the DRC despite having obvious symptoms. The Africa Centers for Disease Control says a team will soon be heading to Kenya to provide assistance.
