Kenya’s Ministry of Health confirms a second Ebola case in the current outbreak affecting the Democratic Republic of Congo. Officials say the person is a relative of a man who had arrived in Kenya from DR Congo and died in Nairobi about a week earlier.
According to multiple outlets, the second individual tests positive for Ebola while in quarantine, raising concerns about possible cross-border transmission within family contacts. The reports describe the first patient as arriving from Congo and dying shortly after, with the second case identified through follow-up of contacts.
The coverage across sources focuses on the same core details—Kenya’s confirmation, the family link to the earlier case, and the fact that the second patient is found during quarantine—while varying mainly in wording and how directly they frame the broader concern about spread.
