Kenya has confirmed a second Ebola case, marking the first known person-to-person transmission within the country. Authorities are actively tracing and quarantining contacts to prevent further spread, with quarantine and testing protocols emphasised to contain the outbreak.

You need to engage with Kenyan health authorities urgently if your tech supports quarantine or contact tracing. This outbreak opens short-term demand for solutions that speed identification and isolation of infectious cases.
