She later developed symptoms of Ebola and died on August 15th.The DRC’s National Institute of Biomedical Research is carrying out further tests to determine whether the patient contracted the viral disease.

The World Health Organisation says it has sent teams to Beni territory to help the government identify people who came into contact with the patient.Scientists say the disease is transmitted to humans through contact with infected wild animals like fruit bats and monkeys.The country battled an outbreak between 2018 and 2020 that claimed more than 2000 lives.
