GENEVA (Reuters) – Ebola is spreading in western Democratic Republic of Congo, with nearly 50 known cases across a large region bordering the Republic of Congo and Central African Republic, the World Health Organization (WHO) said on Monday.
Since authorities announced the outbreak on June 1, 48 cases have been confirmed in Congo’s Equateur province, with a further three probable cases and a total of 20 deaths, WHO’s top emergencies expert Mike Ryan said.
“This is still a very active outbreak, and I would say it is still a great concern,” Ryan told a news briefing.
The province includes part of the River Congo, he said, adding that it was a large geographical area where communities were linked and people traveled long distances.
“I would caution everyone that while the numbers in this event are low, again in the era of COVID it is very important that we do not take our eyes off these other emerging diseases and we saw in North Kivu and other previous outbreaks of Ebola that these can get out of control very easily,” he said.

while the world is behind covid, a flu………. little more dangerous of normal flu in which every year dies many people (not more few than covid) in other places there is ebola which is, in this case, very far dangerous illness and much more deadly where OMS, bill&melinda (the most serialkillers in earth) and the fauci cabal aren’t worried at all…….. WHY?
where are mainstream media?
Gate, at it again…
I meant Gates.
Gates has nothing to do with the spread of ebola or any subversive vaccine program…..Ebola is very, very dangerous, but for some severe COVID-19 is also deadly.
