Concerns Over Fresh Outbreak Of Ebola In D.R. Congo
The world health organization, W.H.O says an Ebola outbreak in eastern democratic republic of Congo may spread over tens of kilometers and poses a high regional risk given its proximity to borders.
Four people have
tested positive for Ebola in and around Mangina, a town of about 60,000
people in north Kivu province, 100 km from the Ugandan border.
Another 20 people died from unidentified hemorrhage fever in the area, mostly in the second half of July.
Just last week, an outbreak was reported in the central African country killing 33 people.
Ebola is believed to be transported long by bats and can find its way into bush meat sold at local markets.
