  "summary": "Kenya has recorded its third case of Ebola, a close relative of the country's first two Ebola cases, the health ministry announced on Friday. The country had not reported a single case of the contagious virus until last week, after a Kenyan man who had been living in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) died after returning to Kenya. Just over a week later, a second man, a relative of the first, also tested positive for the virus while in quarantine.",
