→ Summary: The Government of the Democratic Republic of the Congo declared on Tuesday a new outbreak of Ebola virus disease in Bikoro, Equateu province, where there were also 17 deaths of people with apparent symptoms of the disease. The outbreak declaration occurred after laboratory results confirmed two cases of Ebola. This Thursday, more cases have been confirmed and the total number rises to five deaths from the virus. The World Health Organization (WHO) works closely with the Congolese government to mobilize personnel and resources to cope with the outbreak. It has also released one million dollars from its Emergency Contingency Fund in order to support the response to the outbreak during the next three months and prevent its spread to provinces and nearby countries.
→ Personal opinion: This is everyone's problem and we have to contribute to eradicate the virus and prevent it from spreading.
