Health officials are battling to prevent a resurgence of Ebola in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) after the death of a woman who tested positive for the virus.
Eteni Longondo, DRC’s health minister, said the 42-year-old victim died on 3 February in Butembo town in North Kivu province after falling sick several days earlier. She was taken to hospital but died before receiving test results confirming Ebola.
