Kenya begins 42-day countdown towards Ebola-free status after discharging last patient
Kenya has begun a 42-day countdown towards an Ebola-free declaration after discharging its last Bundibugyo Ebola patient and clearing the final 11 contacts from monitoring.
NAIROBI, Kenya (AP) — Kenya released its final Ebola patient on Wednesday, initiating a 42-day countdown towards an Ebola-free declaration, even as the region's total case count surpassed 11,000 since the outbreak began in May. Billed as a $5.77 monthly fee (plus GST) every four weeks, the service offers a reduced rate of $19.95 (plus GST) after a 52-week commitment. However, this promotional offer is limited to new and qualified returning subscribers, with the option to cancel at any time.
