Kenya reports third Ebola case, contact tracing continues
Kenya has confirmed a third case of Ebola, a relative of a man who died earlier this month after travelling from the Democratic Republic of the Congo. The health ministry said the 65-year-old woman tested positive while in quarantine, where she has been since 5 October.
What the coverage shows
Both outlets focus on Kenya’s confirmation of a third Ebola case, and both link it to the earlier death tied to travel from DR Congo. Al Jazeera adds that Nairobi says the patient is a 65-year-old woman in quarantine with the Bundibugyo strain and no signs of community transmission. France 24 alone frames the case as a relative of a man who died earlier this month, and its extract also includes a separate item about a shot Cameroonian journalist.
