卫生官员正在调查尼日利亚和肯尼亚的埃博拉患者是否在10月3日于乌干达恩德培机场有过接触1。两名患者均在同一天通过该机场，当局怀疑他们可能通过共用设备或其他直接接触而被感染1。
尼日利亚确认了该国十多年来首例埃博拉病例，患者是42岁的乌干达籍女性，已婚于瑞士外交官1。这名患者于10月20日被确诊埃博拉，在到达阿布贾后4天开始出现症状1，目前已显示改善迹象1。肯尼亚患者从刚果民主共和国经乌干达赴内罗毕，后来不幸去世1。肯尼亚已确认9例感染，包括1例死亡，均与首例患者有关1。
尼日利亚已识别出44名接触者，非洲疾病控制和预防中心称还有其他可能接触的人员被确认1。肯尼亚首批隔离人员将于周日完成21天监测后返回家中1。由于刚果民主共和国与乌干达之间边境漫长且多孔，难以对所有过境者进行筛查1。
Health officials are investigating whether patients with Ebola from Nigeria and Kenya came into contact at Uganda's Entebbe Airport on October 3rd.1 Both individuals passed through the airport on the same day, and authorities are examining whether they may have been infected through shared equipment or other direct contact.1
Nigeria has confirmed its first Ebola case in over a decade, involving a 42-year-old woman of Ugandan origin married to a Swiss diplomat.1 The patient tested positive on October 20th, four days after arriving in Abuja where symptoms first emerged.1 Kenya has confirmed nine infections linked to the outbreak, including one death, all connected to an index case who traveled from the Democratic Republic of Congo through Uganda to Nairobi before dying.1 Nigerian health authorities have identified 44 contacts of the confirmed patient, while the Africa Centres for Disease Control and Prevention noted additional potential contacts have been identified.1
The first batch of quarantined individuals in Kenya is expected to complete their 21-day monitoring period and return home on Sunday.1 The long and porous border between the Democratic Republic of Congo and Uganda complicates screening efforts for all travelers crossing between the two countries.1
