> Kenya has confirmed a third Ebola case in a relative of a man who died earlier this month after travelling from the Democratic Republic of the Congo. The 65-year-old woman tested positive while in quarantine, where she has been since 5 October. A second patient, a 39-year-old man from the same family, is stable. Officials say there is no evidence of community transmission because both were quarantined, but three contacts have not yet been traced.
