Kenya has confirmed a second case of Ebola, occurring approximately one week after the country reported its first ever infection. The initial case involved a Kenyan citizen who had been residing in Congo and died in a Nairobi hospital on October 5. The second patient, a 39-year-old man, is a close family member of the first confirmed case. He was already under quarantine when he began to exhibit symptoms on Tuesday, according to a statement released by the Kenyan health ministry. This development suggests a potential localized outbreak connected to the initial case. Authorities are actively monitoring the situation and implementing containment measures to prevent further spread within Kenya. The Ministry continues to trace contacts and provide necessary medical support to those affected.
