What the coverage shows

Both outlets frame the story around Kenya’s heightened alert and worries about screening after the first Ebola death. BBC News adds a separate focus on ten people linked to the case being quarantined, and its extract uniquely traces the patient’s travel through DR Congo, Uganda and then Kenya. Al Jazeera instead foregrounds the government intensifying preparedness efforts and mentions lapses in border screening.
