1️⃣ Kenya has 108 of 122 Ebola contacts in quarantine, none symptomatic

Health CS Duale said on Sun 11 Oct that all 122 contacts of the case are listed and verified, 108 (88.5%) are quarantined and monitored daily, and none has developed symptoms. Of 293 samples from 289 alerts, only the confirmed case is positive. 667,675 travellers have been screened at 26 entry points. 241 isolation beds sit across five hospitals in Nairobi, Eldoret and Mombasa (Kenyans.co.ke, 11 Oct). This replaces our "66 quarantined" line from 8 Oct. The Public Health PS's suspension of government meetings in hotels (memo of 7 Oct) was still unlifted on 10 Oct (Kenyans.co.ke, 10 Oct).
Our inference: the suspension is unlikely to lift before the contact quarantine ends; no end date is published.
🎯 So what: with any ministry or agency block, get hold, move or cancel terms in writing now and check your force-majeure clause.

2️⃣ The US entry order on DRC, Uganda and South Sudan expires tonight, and renewals have come late before

Doc 2026-18948 runs to 4:59pm EDT Sun 11 Oct, which is 23:59 EAT. The latest Federal Register listing shows no successor (federalregister.gov, checked 11 Oct). That proves little: the 11 Sep order was published on 16 Sep, and the 12 Aug order on 17 Aug, each renewing at the expiry date. Kenya is not named.
Our inference: assume renewal until cdc.gov says otherwise.
🎯 So what: for US guests combining Uganda with Kenya or Rwanda, keep flexible cancellation terms through the week.

3️⃣ ⏳ Catching up: Cabinet approved KSh45.4bn for Kenya Airways on 9 Oct

Ten-year repayment, disbursed in instalments, convertible to equity. Cabinet also backed turning KSh122bn of state loans into a tradable instrument that can convert to shares. All of it needs corporate, shareholder and regulatory approvals. The money is for maintenance and returning grounded aircraft; three were in major service in September (Kenyans.co.ke, 9 Oct).
Our inference: capacity recovery is possible but not yet funded in cash.
🎯 So what: do not bank on extra KQ seats in your 2027 forecasts until disbursement is confirmed.
