Kenya confirms its eighth Ebola case in a country that had NEVER recorded the deadly virus before this month

Four new Ebola infections were confirmed in Kenya in a single announcement, taking the tally to seven. Within hours an eighth case followed. There is no community transmission yet, but the outbreak is spreading across the region. Until this month, Kenya had never documented an Ebola infection on its soil, and the pace at which the virus has taken hold is now the primary concern.

The count rose from seven to eight in less than a day.
