Fast-moving Ebola outbreak spreads to another Congo province

This story is from the archive. It was covered between 18 October 2026 and 18 October 2026, and nothing below has been updated since. See what is happening now.

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.
