Kenya: a suspected Ebola patient tested negative

After the first Ebola-related death in Kenya on Tuesday, a 20-year-old Kenyan man who returned from DRC via Uganda was tested for Ebola. Laboratory results sent to Nairobi showed the sample was negative, announced the Wajir county governor. This case highlights weaknesses in border control systems despite temperature checks at airports. The outbreak in DRC, which began in May, has resulted in over 4,000 deaths and remains uncontrolled, with authorities struggling to identify all contacts.
