NAIROBI, Kenya, Oct 6 — Kenya has confirmed its first imported case of Bundibugyo Ebola virus disease after a Kenyan citizen who had been living in the Democratic Republic of Congo travelled by road to Kampala before boarding Jambojet flight JM8523 from Entebbe to Nairobi on October 3.
The patient later died after testing positive at both the National Virology Reference Laboratory and KEMRI.
Jambojet says it is working with the Ministry of Health, Port Health Services and other authorities to identify and manage passengers and crew who may have been in contact with the deceased passenger.
