Ebola spreads to remote, militia-run Congo territory - SABC News - Breaking news, special reports, world, business, sport coverage of all South African current events. Africa's news leader.

Pinga, the village where the case was reported, lies about 150 km northwest of Goma, one of the towns affected by the Ebola epidemic, and much further away from the epicentre of the epidemic in Butembo and Beni.

The widening geographic spread of the virus, and its presence in yet another zone under the sway of armed groups, raises the risk of it spreading out of control, even while the technical tools to rein it in are better than ever. Ebola has killed at least 1,900 people in Congo over the past year, the second biggest toll in the disease’s history,after a 2014-16 outbreak in West Africa that killed 11,300 people.
