DR Congo: Ebola fears as the virus spreads

Health workers trying to combat the outbreak are having to deal with hostility from militias and communities.

Doctors in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) have quarantined 15 people in South Kivu province, over fears that they have been infected by Ebola.

All of them are members of the same family and had recently returned from the provincial capital city of Goma, where a man died from Ebola on Wednesday.

A third case has now been detected there.
