Ebola spreads to eighth Congo province as Kenya cases hit 8
Original: Ebola: Kenya cases rise to 8, spreads to 8th Congo province
Kenya's Ebola case count has risen to eight, while the outbreak in the Democratic Republic of Congo has now spread to an eighth province. The dual reports of rising cases and widening geographic spread are raising concerns that the epidemic is not being contained and could pose a broader regional health threat across East and Central Africa.
Why now: Fresh official figures showing rising Kenyan cases and the outbreak expanding into a new Congolese province have renewed alarm about containment efforts.
