00:08The 39-year-old patient, a close relative of Kenya's first case, was already in quarantine when he developed symptoms
00:15on Tuesday, according to the health ministry.
00:18The first patient, a Kenyan man who had been ill in the Democratic Republic of Congo, traveled through Uganda before
00:25flying to Nairobi on October 3rd.
00:27He died in hospital two days later.
00:30The case has sparked questions over border screening after the patient crossed from Congo into Uganda, despite the border reportedly
00:38being closed since May.
00:39The outbreak, driven by the rare bunji bunja strain, has killed more than 4,000 people in Congo with over
00:468,000 cases recorded.
00:49Uganda, which reported 20 cases and two deaths earlier this year, was declared Ebola-free in August.
