Kenya is racing to contain an Ebola outbreak as health authorities monitor more than 100 people who came into contact with the country's first confirmed case.

Officials say all recent infections were detected while patients were already in quarantine, highlighting the effectiveness of contact tracing efforts.

However, concerns remain after several healthcare workers were infected, with medical unions warning about shortages of protective equipment.

Authorities have screened more than 700,000 travelers and say there is no evidence of wider community spread.

As public health teams work to prevent further infections, many Kenyans remain unconvinced that the country is fully prepared for a larger outbreak.
