Ebola in Kenya with first death
The Kenyan authorities announced the first confirmed death from the Ebola virus in the country, involving a citizen who had been residing in the Democratic Republic of Congo for seven years. The patient arrived in Nairobi via Kampala before passing away, and tests confirmed he was infected with the virus after his return. The authorities have raised the level of alert at border crossings and launched an effort to trace contacts, in an attempt to contain the spread of the virus, which has claimed the lives of over 4,000 people out of approximately 8,400 cases since the outbreak began in May in a remote region of eastern Congo.
