Kenya Discharges Last Ebola Patient on November 11: Seven of Nine Cases Recovered and Two Died, 42-Day Countdown Starts November 12
NAIROBI — Kenya discharged its last Ebola patient on Wednesday, November 11, Health Minister Aden Duale said, and the last 11 contacts left quarantine the same day. Kenya recorded nine confirmed cases in total, of whom seven recovered and two died.
Duale said no new infections have been recorded since October 19. The first case, in early October, was a Kenyan citizen who arrived in Nairobi from the Democratic Republic of the Congo via Uganda. The Associated Press reported that health authorities traced 135 contacts linked to the first patient.
The 42-day countdown begins on Thursday, November 12, a period equal to twice the longest known incubation period of the virus. If no new case appears, Kenya will be declared Ebola-free on December 23.
Duale said screening will continue at all points of entry, along with monitoring of health facilities and communities. This item reports a separate national milestone from the DRC toll in World item 2, and the figures are stated on each country health authority terms.
