The World Health Organization (WHO) on 13 August 2014 classified Kenya in East Africa as a high risk country for the spread of the deadly Ebola virus from West Africa, where nearly 2,000 have been infected. The virus could reach East Africa through Nairobi's airport, where about 70 flights from West Africa land every week. It was therefore crucial to tighten Ebola controls, said the WHO's Kenya director Custodia Mandlhate. The number of reported Ebola cases in the four affected countries has climbed to 1,975 the WHO said in Geneva. Of these patients, 1,069 have died. Nigeria requested the experimental Ebola drug ZMapp after reporting its third death from the virus. EPA/DANIEL IRUNGU
