Kenya had never had a single Ebola case, but there are now seven confirmed cases in just two weeks in this East African nation. This outbreak in Kenya started on Oct. 6. A Kenyan man became infected while visiting Congo, then traveled through Uganda and boarded a commercial airliner and flew to Nairobi. He died hours later, but had apparently spread the disease to others. Of the seven confirmed cases, two are his relatives, and three more are health workers who treated the man. All of these new cases are in stable condition and responding well to treatment, according to the New York Times.

Kenya’s Health Ministry acted quickly to trace and quarantine people who may have come into contact with the infected man. The Health Ministry believes that it has contained the outbreak and stated, “There is no evidence of community transmission of the disease.”

The most recent outbreak originated in mid-May in the Democratic Republic of the Congo’s eastern Ituri Province. It has become Congo’s largest Ebola outbreak. The African health authority, Africa CDC, has described it as the fastest-growing Ebola outbreak in history. Congo has over 9,200 confirmed cases and over 4,400 deaths. On Oct. 15, health officials in Congo announced that the disease has now spread to an eighth province, North Ubangi, on the northern border with the Central African Republic. A health official in North Ubangi told reporters that there are two confirmed cases in this province, but that there are also several suspected deaths in a mining area in the Wapinda health zone. In August, some health workers in Congo went on strike, saying that they had not been paid for months. This week, a union representing health workers has called for a nationwide general strike, after negotiations with the government failed.

All of the cases involve the Bundibugyo strain of the Ebola virus for which there is no approved cure; Uganda, however, has launched vaccine trials as seen in this short video.
