Kenyan Health Minister Aden Duale said on Wednesday that the east African country had discharged its last remaining Ebola patient from a Nairobi hospital. The final person to undergo treatment for the disease in Kenya had 11 contact cases, Duale said, who will also undergo 21 days of quarantine. Kenya will be declared Ebola-free on December 23 if no one else exhibits symptoms until then. "Through strengthened surveillance and contact tracing, all 135 contacts linked to the index case were successfully traced and monitored," the health ministry said. "All nine confirmed cases remained within a single transmission cluster, with no community transmission recorded," it added.
