The Ebola epidemic has spread to a seventh province of the Democratic Republic of Congo, the province of Sud-Ubangi, located in the northwest of the country and bordering the Central African Republic and the Republic of Congo. This expansion represents a significant worsening of the epidemiological situation in the country.

The governor of the province of Sud-Ubangi, Jean-René Galekwa, officially announced the declaration of the epidemic in the region through a statement. The decision was made after laboratory tests were carried out on a suspected Ebola case in the province.

According to local authorities, a patient infected with Ebola died in Sud-Ubangi. The patient had traveled to the region, although information about the destination or duration of the trip is incomplete in the article. This case marks the first time the disease has officially reached this province.
