Kinshasa (AFP) – The Democratic Republic of Congo upped its death toll from Ebola on Saturday to 32 but insisted the outbreak, separate from an epidemic raging in west Africa, could be contained in its remote forest hotspot.
“We have registered 32 deaths,” one up from a toll issued on Tuesday, Health Minister Felix Kabange Numbi told a press conference.
Kabange tallied 59 likely or confirmed cases of the tropical fever, saying the “big challenge” was to survey suspicious cases in order to staunch the contagion.
