This new patient is a 39-year-old man. He's a relative of the patient zero, this man who traveled from DRC to Kenya and who died of Ebola here in Nairobi last week. According to the Ministry of Health, the two men came in close contact and that's how he was contaminated. Still according to the Ministry of Health, he developed the first symptoms while he was already in quarantine here in Nairobi. He was experiencing joint pain, fatigue as well as fever and that's That's how the doctors discovered that he had Ebola, so he was tested and the test came back positive. So he was transported to a designated facility where doctors have been trained to treat Ebola patients. Now, there are two good news. First, his chances of recovery are pretty high because he was attended very early after the first symptoms occurred. And then, since he was already in quarantine when the first symptoms appeared, he did not contaminate anyone here in Nairobi, so the chances to be contaminated here in Nairobi remain very low at the moment. But despite that, the Kenyan government wants to reassure the population that it is ready. 241 beds are available for Ebola patients in different hospitals across the country, the Ministry of Health is still tracing contacts of the patient zero. 128 people have been identified so far but 15 of them are yet to be found. So the Ministry of Health is calling on Kenyans to remain calm and to visit nearby hospitals as soon as they experience the following symptoms in order to avoid an Ebola outbreak in Kenya. These symptoms are fever, fatigue, joint pain, vomiting, diarrhea and unexplained death.
