Kenya records first Ebola case linked to Congo outbreak
Original: Kenya records first Ebola case from Congo outbreak that has killed thousands
Kenya has reported its first Ebola case connected to the ongoing outbreak in the Democratic Republic of Congo, which has killed thousands of people. The confirmation raises fears the disease could spread further in East Africa, and health authorities in the region are expected to step up screening and containment efforts as concern grows internationally.
Why now: The spread of Ebola beyond the DRC into Kenya marks an alarming regional escalation of a deadly outbreak.
