Kenya’s Ebola death toll has risen to two after a 65-year-old woman, the country’s third confirmed case of Bundibugyo virus disease, died while receiving treatment.
The Ministry of Health said the woman, who was a close family member and direct contact of the first confirmed case, developed symptoms on October 13, 2026, while under quarantine.
She was admitted to an infectious disease unit the same day and received supportive care from medical teams but succumbed to the disease early Friday evening.
