Kenya’s Public Health and Sanitation minister, Beth Mugo has announced that Kenya is stepping up surveillance of the fast-spreading swine flu which has now spread all across the globe after the first cases were from Mexico a couple of weeks ago.

The minister said visitors from Texas, Mexico, California and New York will be subject to screening at Jomo Kenyatta International airport and Moi International airport.
