> Preliminary laboratory results for a 20-year-old man treated in Wajir County were negative for Ebola, easing fears of a second case in Kenya. He had travelled from the Democratic Republic of the Congo through Uganda. The country reported its first case this week, and the WHO is working with Kenyan authorities on contact tracing and traveller checks.
