Health officials are concerned that Ebola appears to be spreading in the direction of Goma, a major population center in the Democratic Republic of Congo, according to an article on the Vox website.
At least 680 people have already been infected with the virus in the DRC. It’s the second-largest Ebola outbreak in history, with 414 deaths so far.
Last week, DRC’s health ministry confirmed four cases of the deadly virus in Kayina, a town in North Kivu, where fighting among rebel and militia groups are interrupting the work of health workers.
Kayina is halfway between Butembo, currently one of the outbreak’s most active hotspots, and Goma, where a million people live.
