Authorities in the
Democratic Republic of the Congo announce that a 3-year-old boy who died last Wednesday in
Beni tested positive for
Ebola. The health minister could not confirm if this was related to the
Kivu Ebola outbreak which ended in 2020 and killed more than 2,200 people, but said that they were closely monitoring 100 people who may have been exposed to the virus and that three boys, all of whom were neighbors of the toddler, were already showing symptoms of the disease.
