A Congolese minister has confirmed that a second wave of the Ebola virus has been confirmed in eastern Congo, where an initial outbreak has already killed 125 People.
The latest wave is centered in Beni, a town in North Kivu near the border with Uganda, said Health Minister Dr. Oly Ilunga.
“We don’t yet know the scale of it,” he added. “
This second wave occurred as a result of community resistance to measures taken to tackle the disease, Ilunga said.
“The epidemic in Beni is high-risk … and the situation is worrying.”
