> The Democratic Republic of Congo’s latest Ebola outbreak has reached a sixth province after a death was reported in previously unaffected Bas-Uele. Africa CDC chief Jean Kaseya warned that without containment, the outbreak could last more than a year and pose a greater risk of spreading to other countries. Government figures show 2,128 deaths among about 4,566 recorded cases.
