Ebola Reaches Seventh DRC Province via Cross-Border Travel

Ebola has spread to a seventh province in the Democratic Republic of Congo after an infected person travelled through both Rwanda and Uganda before the outbreak was contained.

The Congolese government has insisted case numbers are declining, a claim that sits uneasily with the disease's continued geographic expansion.
