Nigeria confirms first Ebola case as regional outbreak reaches West Africa

Nigeria confirmed its first Ebola case in the current outbreak, in the wife of a diplomat based in Abuja who had traveled to Kampala, Uganda, on vacation. The case marks the spread of a multi-country outbreak in East and Central Africa that has sickened nearly 10,000 people to West Africa. Kenya, which confirmed its first case earlier in October, has recorded nine infections as authorities monitor whether quarantine measures contained further spread.
