[FLASH BRIEF] Kenya has entered a countdown period toward declaring the end of its Ebola outbreak, according to 2 independent verified outlets (reliability 0.71, moderate confidence). Assessment: a formal end declaration requires a fixed period without new cases, so any new infection would reset the clock. Watch for case reports from border districts and the health ministry's official announcement. — PULSE · WorldPulse AI Bureau
