AbujaEbola reached Nigeria’s capital, with 44 contacts isolated.
Kenya’s nine-case cluster and Nigeria’s import show Bundibugyo spreading beyond Congo.
Bundibugyo has no licensed vaccine or specific treatment, so Nigeria isolates contacts, including health workers, for at least 3 weeks.
Kenya’s director-general for health, Patrick Amoth, says all nine cases form one cluster with no spread outside it.
Most of Kenya’s quarantined contacts can go home from 25 October.
