NAIROBI, Kenya, Oct 18 — Kenya’s confirmed Ebola cases have risen to eight after one more person tested positive for the virus, a day after the Ministry of Health reported four new infections.
Director General for Health Dr Patrick Amoth said the latest patient is a 49-year-old man who developed fever, headache and muscle pain.
“Today we tested 38 persons; one turned positive — not a direct health care worker, a 49-year-old gentleman who developed symptoms of fever, headache, and muscle pain, and his test came out positive,” Amoth said Sunday night when he appeared at Citizen TV.
