African health officials announced Thursday that the first confirmed Ebola patients in Kenya and Nigeria may have crossed paths earlier this month at an airport in Uganda. The potential intersection highlights efforts by authorities to trace and contain a renewed outbreak that has spread across multiple African nations.

Simultaneously, the World Health Organization reported that it had not been informed of travel to the Congo by Nigeria's patient prior to the revelation from Uganda. Nigeria's government had previously stated that its first Ebola case in over a decade involved a Ugandan national.
