Kenya Reports Second Ebola Death Amid Ongoing Outbreak in Multiple African Countries
Kenya has confirmed its second Ebola death, a 65-year-old woman who was a close relative of the first patient and developed symptoms while in quarantine. Kenya has reported nine cases linked to a single cluster, with no community spread. The first case was a man who died after returning from the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC). Meanwhile, Nigeria's Ebola patient, a Swiss national, reportedly did not travel to Congo, with investigations ongoing to determine the infection source. The outbreak has affected Congo, Uganda, Kenya, and Nigeria, causing about 4,700 deaths.
