Congo Declares New Ebola Outbreak in Kasai 15 Dead

Congo has declared a new Ebola outbreak in southern Kasai, with 28 suspected infections and 15 confirmed deaths, according to the Ministry of Health. The outbreak began in late August when a pregnant woman in Bulape was admitted with bleeding symptoms and died within a week. Several hospital staff and laboratory workers who had contact with her later developed symptoms. Provincial authorities initially reported eight deaths, but the toll quickly rose as more suspected cases emerged. The National Institute of Public Health elevated the alert level this week, confirming that the virus is once again spreading in the region. Ebola is transmitted through direct contact with bodily fluids of infected patients. Early signs include fever, fatigue, and muscle aches, which may progress to severe bleeding and organ failure. Health workers and family members remain the most vulnerable, especially during treatment […]
