The Ebola outbreak that began in Congo in May has now reached multiple African countries, including Nigeria and Kenya. The first patients in both countries may have crossed paths at an airport in Uganda. Health officials are urgently investigating the origins of Nigeria's first case.

Swiss officials say the Nigerian patient is believed to have caught the disease in Uganda.

Nigeria insists its case remains isolated and is urging the public to stay calm.
