Three new cases of the often lethal Ebola virus have been confirmed in a city of more than 1 million people, the Democratic Republic of Congo’s health minister says
The statement said the confirmed cases were in Mbandaka city, where a single case was confirmed earlier in the week.
The spread of the haemorrhagic fever in an urban area will raise alarm.
There are now 17 confirmed Ebola cases in this outbreak, including one death, plus 21 probable cases and five suspected ones.
The World Health Organisation (WHO) has decided not to declare the outbreak a global health emergency, but it called the risk of spread within Congo “very high” and warned nine neighbouring countries that the risk to them was high.
