Kenya reports second Ebola death following death of primary case relative

Kenya's Ministry of Health has reported a second Ebola death after a 65-year-old female relative of the country's first case died in isolation in Nairobi. Seven other patients remain in treatment across two facilities, while over one hundred contacts have been traced and placed in isolation. Authorities in Nigeria have not yet confirmed the exact chain of transmission for a separate case detected in Abuja.
