There is an Ebola outbreak in the Democratic Republic of Congo and people have been urged to remain careful and vigilant.
According to the ministry of health in DRC, two cases of the virus have been confirmed and already 17 people have succumbed to the virus in Northwest DRC.
In 2014, Ebola killed more than 11,000 people in Guinea, Sierra Leone and Liberia and DRC has always remained on the map as the source of the deadly virus.
According to World Health Organization (WHO), laboratory tests have confirmed two cases out of the five suspected patients in a place called Bikoro, north-west of Congo.
World Health Organization says that it has already released one million US Dollars and deployed more than 50 experts to work with officials in DRC.
Ebola was first discovered in Congo in 1976 at the banks of Ebola River and the country has since faced the outbreak nine times.
Ebola is thought to be spread over long distances by fruit bats and is often transmitted to humans via contaminated bushmeat.
