Ebola: It's back

Remember when it first appeared and even the magats believed it was NOT A HOAX

An outbreak of Ebola has been declared in the Democratic Republic of the Congo - four months after the last one ended.

A case was confirmed in a 31-year-old man on 5 April. He was admitted to an Ebola treatment centre on Thursday, but died hours later.

The World Health Organisation's regional director for Africa, Dr Matshidiso Moeti, said: "Time is not on our side. The disease has had a two-week head start and we are now playing catch-up."
