WHO warns ‘more complex’ Ebola outbreak now present in 3 African countries

An Ebola outbreak involving a rare virus strain has spread to three African countries: Nigeria, Kenya, and Uganda. Nigeria recorded its first case, prompting a regional health summit, while Kenya also reported infections. This outbreak is unusually widespread, and health officials are investigating possible connections between cases at Uganda's main airport, though Uganda says it currently has no active cases. Experts are concerned the virus could spread further undetected across the region.
