A total of 204 “probable deaths” have been recorded to date due to the Ebola virus outbreak, declared on December 15 in the eastern Democratic Republic of Congo. This was reported by the Congolese government.
These deaths correspond to the count drawn up until yesterday, the executive noted in its latest bulletin on this health crisis published by the Ministry of Communication, in which it also specifies that “867 suspected cases” are already accumulating.
The epidemic was detected in the province of Ituri, on the border with Uganda and South Sudan and the epicenter of the epidemic, but it has also spread to the eastern provinces of North and South Kivu and into Ugandan territory.
