Ten quarantined after Kenya's first Ebola case
Original: Ten people linked to Kenya's first-ever Ebola case quarantined as screening concerns grow
Health authorities in Kenya have placed ten people linked to the country's first-ever Ebola case in quarantine as officials work to trace contacts and contain any spread. The case has also raised concerns about the strength of screening measures at points of entry, with questions growing over whether checks were adequate to detect the infection earlier.
Why now: A first domestic Ebola case raises fears of wider outbreak and exposes gaps in screening, making containment efforts highly newsworthy.
