Kenya confirms its first Ebola death as outbreak spreads
The patient had been living in DR Congo, where more than 4,000 people have died from the disease this year.
What the coverage shows
Both outlets focus on Kenya confirming its first Ebola case and the patient’s death, with The Guardian US adding that health officials had identified 28 contacts. BBC News differs slightly by highlighting only that the patient had been living in DR Congo for seven years, while The Guardian US alone foregrounds the health minister and the contacts-tracing detail.
