Kenya has confirmed a third case of Ebola, a relative of a man who died earlier this month after travelling from the Democratic Republic of the Congo. The health ministry said the 65-year-old woman tested positive while in quarantine, where she has been since 5 October. The second patient, a 39-year-old man from the same family, is in a stable condition. Health officials say there is no evidence of community transmission, as both individuals were under quarantine. However, three contacts have yet to be traced. Our correspondent Bastien Renouil tells us more.
