Kenya reports first Ebola case imported from DR Congo after patient dies

What the coverage shows
Both outlets focus on Kenya confirming its first Ebola case and the patient’s death, with The Guardian US adding that health officials had identified 28 contacts. BBC News differs slightly by highlighting only that the patient had been living in DR Congo for seven years, while The Guardian US alone foregrounds the health minister and the contacts-tracing detail.
