The Ebola epidemic plaguing Djera, in the Equateur province northwest of the Democratic Republic of Congo is on the verge of being contained, government spokesman Lambert Mende claimed.
Speaking after Saturday’s cabinet meeting held in Kinshasa under the leadership of President Joseph Kabila, Mr. Mende said some success has been registered by the Congolese government and its partners to contain the epidemic where it was first detected 1200 km from the capital with a reduced infection rate.
Over the past ten days, no new cases of Ebola have been detected in Djera, Mende noted.
DR Congo has recorded 40 deaths since the Ebola outbreak in the area as of September 17, he added.
