Four additional people have died from Ebola within the eastern Democratic Republic of Congo, two weeks after another happening that killed thirty-three people within the northwest was declared over, the Congolese health ministry has said.

Four new deaths from those that tested positive for the malady were recorded within the Beni region in North lake province, a district with deep security issues that shares borders with Republic of Uganda and Rwanda.



The total death toll has reached seven from sixteen confirmed cases, the ministry said during a bulletin on Monday.

“In total, forty-three cases of hemorrhagic fever are reported within the region, as well as sixteen confirmed and twenty-seven probable, and thirty-one suspected cases are under investigation,” the ministry said.

Almost one thousand people who have had “contact” with the virus are registered in health zones under police investigation, it said.
