Kenya has confirmed two
cases of yellow fever for the first time in about two decades.
BBC
Africa Live report continues:
Both
cases were imported from Angola where an outbreak of the disease has killed
more than 150 people.
The
disease has been eradicated in Kenya.
The
two Kenyan men with yellow fever arrived from Angola where they had been living
and working for more than 10 years.
The
first died on Wednesday at the country's main hospital where the second
man has now been admitted.
Health officials have
however assured Kenyans that there is no danger of direct human-to-human
transmission as the disease is spread through infected mosquitoes.
