Kenya has confirmed a second Bundibugyo Ebola case, a 39-year-old close relative of the first patient, who was already in quarantine when he developed symptoms on 13 October. The Ministry of Health reports no evidence of community transmission and has imposed no restrictions on travel, trade or gatherings, while contact tracing of the first patient's 128 contacts continues. Kenya now has two confirmed cases and one death; by 13 October, 113 of 128 contacts had been traced, 108 were in quarantine in Kenya and five were abroad.
