A third person in Kenya has tested positive for Bundibugyo ebolavirus, expanding the country's first recorded cluster of Ebola cases, according to the Guardian.
The regional outbreak, described as the second-largest in history, has killed more than 4,300 people and sickened more than 9,000.
A US-led quarantine center in Kenya has faced opposition amid sweeping funding cuts under Trump, reduced global health support and US withdrawal from the World Health Organization. The US has also barred travelers from certain countries.
The Guardian reports that these measures have weakened the ability to detect and respond to the outbreak while deepening mistrust.
