Kenya reports first Ebola case in traveller from DR Congo

Original: Kenya reports its first Ebola case, in man who died after arriving from DR Congo

Kenya has confirmed its first Ebola case, identified in a man who died after arriving in the country from the Democratic Republic of Congo. Health authorities are expected to trace contacts and step up screening at points of entry. The case raises regional concern because Kenya is a major transport hub, and an outbreak spreading beyond DR Congo would mark a serious escalation for East Africa.

Why now: A first Ebola case in Kenya signals potential cross-border spread of the outbreak from DR Congo.
