New suspected cases of Ebola have been reported in parts of Congo that were previously unaffected, the government said, as the death toll in the country's latest Ebola outbreak reached 600. The total number of confirmed cases across the country has now reached 1,759.
The Congolese government's latest report said two new cases were suspected in Kisangani, in Tshopo province, in the north-central part of the country, which borders Ituri province, where the outbreak started and where cases had not previously been recorded.
