Health Cabinet Secretary Aden Duale officially confirmed that all seven patients who contracted the virus have successfully recovered and returned home to their families.
The breakthrough moment follows a series of successful discharges, beginning with the first group of patients leaving healthcare facilities and paving the way for a disease-free horizon.
Adding to the positive trajectory, the Ministry of Health verified that all 135 individuals identified as primary or secondary contacts of the imported case have completed their mandatory 21-day follow-up monitoring.
Health authorities emphasized that no remaining contacts are currently under quarantine, highlighting the effectiveness of rigorous contact-tracing and rapid response measures.
With all active cases resolved and zero ongoing community transmission recorded within the cluster, the nation has officially commenced a crucial 42-day countdown.
Should no new infections emerge during this observation window, the World Health Organization and local health authorities are poised to officially declare Kenya entirely Ebola-free.
Despite the remarkable progress, the government has stressed that heightened vigilance, border screening, and emergency readiness will remain active across all entry points to safeguard public safety.
