Nairobi3 health workers caught Ebola treating Kenya’s first patient.
Bundibugyo has no vaccine or treatment, and Congo’s outbreak has passed 9,000 cases.
All 4 new cases developed fevers in quarantine, and 128 of the first patient’s 130 contacts are traced.
The health ministry says it sees no community transmission and rates the public risk low.
Observers question how the first patient bypassed health screening after flying into Nairobi on 3 October.
