Five people, including a 15-year-old girl, have died in Mbandaka, a western city more than 750 miles away from another Ebola outbreak in the Democratic Republic of Congo. It is still not clear how the virus has spread during the national lockdown.
So far nine cases have been reported by UNICEF. According to the reports, the deaths occurred between the 18th and 30th of May but they were only confirmed as Ebola-related on 1st June.
“Four additional people who contracted the virus – all contacts of the deceased and including the child of one of the fatal cases – are being treated in an isolation unit at the Wangata Hospital,” UNICEF said.
On Monday the World Health Organization Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus tweeted that six cases had been reported in Mbandaka, in the northwest Equateur province of the country.
