More deaths have been recorded in the Ebola outbreak in the eastern Democratic Republic of Congo, claiming more than 180 lives.
So far a total of 298 cases of hemorrhagic fever have been reported in the region, including 263 confirmed and 35 probable cases, since the declaration of this tenth Ebola epidemic in the DRC.
According to Congolese health authorities, the latest victims to be infected with the virus are a newborn baby and the mother.
Meanwhile, Uganda will soon begin vaccinating frontline health workers against Ebola as the threat increases of the deadly virus.
It will be the first time the vaccine is used in a country, not in the midst of an active Ebola outbreak.
