Via Radio Okapi: Ebola in Beni: a second recorded death. The story is a little unclear about the link of this woman's case to the first. Is the two-year-old one of the untested children who died, or the tested three-year-old who was the first confirmed case in this outbreak? The Google translation:
A second death caused by the Ebola virus disease was recorded Wednesday, October 13 in the health zone of Beni, after the reappearance of the disease on October 8, according to the coordinator of the response against Ebola.
This time it is a 42-year-old woman with an epidemiological and family link with the first case of death, a two-year-old child, recorded on October 6.
The vaccination campaign against Ebola was launched Wednesday, October 13 in several districts of the city of Beni, in particular in Butsili, where a first case of the disease was recorded.
People at risk are vaccinated first, including contacts of the first confirmed case, in order to stem the spread of the virus.
