Kenya confirmed its first case of Ebola after a Kenyan national who had been living in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) for seven years died in Nairobi on Tuesday. The patient traveled by road from the DRC to Kampala before flying to Nairobi on Saturday, during which time they were symptomatic for about a month. Kenya’s health secretary identified 28 contacts, including family members and healthcare workers, who are now under isolation and monitoring for 21 days; another 23 passengers from the same flight are also being traced. The DRC is experiencing its worst Ebola outbreak with over 4,000 deaths reported since May 15, surpassing the previous record of 8,300 confirmed cases across seven provinces.

Health authorities identified 28 close contacts including family members and healthcare workers, as well as attempted to track down an additional 23 passengers from the same flight. Kenya's health ministry director Patrick Amoth stated that these contacts will remain in isolation for 21 days before being released if they test negative.
