Fast-moving Ebola outbreak spreads to another Congo province
The outbreak is caused by the rare Bundibugyo virus, for which there is no approved vaccine or treatment
What the coverage shows
Both outlets frame the story as the Ebola outbreak spreading to another Congo province, with South China Morning Post specifying that authorities said it had reached an eighth province and naming Nord-Ubangi in the extract. The Independent’s extract instead foregrounds the virus type and the lack of an approved vaccine or treatment, a detail not present in the South China Morning Post item.
