By the AFREEQUE newsroom, based on Africanews
A confirmed Ebola case has led authorities to declare a new outbreak in Sud-Ubangi, a north-western province of the Democratic Republic of the Congo. The detection brings to seven the number of provinces affected by the epidemic, which began in May, according to local authorities cited by the source.
The Ebola outbreak has reached a seventh province in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, with an outbreak confirmed in Sud-Ubangi, in the north-west of the country, according to local authorities. The governorate of Sud-Ubangi declared the outbreak after a suspected case was analysed.
Sud-Ubangi has thus become the latest area affected by this Ebola outbreak. The spread comes as the virus is already circulating in six other provinces of the DRC, as reported in the account of the sixth province affected.
