Democratic
Republic of Congo says its outbreak is over
A three-month Ebola outbreak in the Democratic Republic
of Congo has ended after claiming at least 49 lives, the country's health
minister says.
No new cases had been registered since 4 October, though he warned against
complacency.The country's outbreak is unrelated to the one in West Africa which has claimed more than 5,000 lives.
Saturday's announcement came 42 days after the last new Ebola case in the country - Ebola outbreaks are usually declared over when two full cycles of the virus' 21 day incubation period finish without further infections.
