Congo Says Its Separate Ebola Outbreak Is Over

KINSHASA, Congo — Nov 15, 2014, 8:18 AM ET

Congolese officials say its separate Ebola outbreak that killed dozens 
of people this year as an unrelated Ebola epidemic swept West Africa is 
now over.

Congo's Health Minister Felix Kabange Numbi made the announcement Saturday.

Authorities said that at least 49 people died, including eight health 
workers, since Ebola erupted in Equateur province in northwestern Congo 
in August.

The Congo outbreak came amid a regional epidemic that now has left more 
than 5,000 dead, but Congo's Ebola cases were not related to those in 
Guinea, Sierra Leone and Liberia.

The hemorrhagic fever was first discovered in Congo back in 1976, and 
there have been sporadic outbreaks here over the years. It is not known 
how the virus first emerged in Guinea that sparked the epidemic.
