Kenya has confirmed four new cases of Ebola, bringing the total to seven infections in a country that had previously not recorded any cases of the virus. This development raises concerns about the spread of the deadly disease in East Africa.
Meanwhile, the United States is grappling with a significant measles outbreak in Pennsylvania, which has resulted in six deaths and over 1,200 confirmed cases. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) is deploying a specialized team to assist the county at the center of the outbreak, which notably lacks its own health department. Travel restrictions related to the Ebola outbreak are also impacting Zambian National Women's Soccer League players, who are facing delays in returning to the U.S. after international duty.
