- Congo reported a new Ebola outbreak that has already killed five people and infected at least two more in the western part of the region.
- The African country has been fighting an Ebola outbreak in the east for almost 2 years but it’s unclear how the illness spread to Mbandaka, which is 750 miles away.
- Congo is also battling two other separate epidemics, including measles and of course the novel coronavirus.
As if 2020 wasn’t already terrible enough, there’s even more bad news coming out of Congo. The African country is already being ravaged by a measles outbreak and is battling the novel coronavirus like every other nation in the region. On top of that, Congo now has to deal with a brand new Ebola outbreak that somehow appeared despite the lockdown measures that are currently in place in the country to slow the spread of COVID-19. Congo is no stranger to this particular infectious disease that’s scarier and deadlier than the novel coronavirus, as it has been fighting off an epidemic for years. What’s peculiar this time around is that new cases appeared in a different region of the country despite lockdowns and travel bans.
