Ebola Spreads to New Congo Province | Australia News

Ebola’s spreading alarmingly in the Democratic Republic of Congo, now reaching Bas-Uele—the sixth province affected. A motorcycle taxi driver who traveled from Haut-Uele to Buta died with Ebola symptoms, and his post-mortem tests confirmed it. His movements before death—and others trying to move his body—raise fears of wider exposure.

Health officials are urgently tracing contacts to contain the spread. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
