To date, 28 contact persons have been identified in Kenya, including family members and medical professionals.
Congo continues the largest Ebola outbreak in the country's history, caused by a rare strain of Bundibugio. The country has registered more than 8 thousand cases of infection and more than 4 thousand deaths.
The virus had previously spread to Uganda, but in August the World Health Organization announced the complete elimination of the disease.
