Kenya has confirmed a second case of Ebola, with the new patient being a relative of the country's first confirmed victim. The initial case involved an individual who had traveled to Kenya from the Democratic Republic of Congo and subsequently died last week.
This development raises concerns about potential local transmission within Kenya and highlights the ongoing challenges in containing the spread of the virus. Health authorities are working to trace contacts and implement necessary containment measures to prevent further outbreaks.
