Worrisome. Three healthcare workers in Kenya new Bundibugyo cases. Sadly, In spreading outbreaks often HCW are the canary in the colemine.
Kenya has confirmed four new cases of the Ebola Bundibugyo virus, bringing the total to seven. Health officials said three of the infected are health workers who treated the country's first patient. The fourth is a relative of that patient.
