Ebola has spread to Nord-Ubangi, Congo's eighth affected province, the Health Ministry said Sunday. It recorded two cases there, including one death.
9,400+ cases and 4,500+ deaths recorded since the mid-May declaration.
Both new patients are men in their 20s in Wapinda health zone.
66 health zones affected; Ituri holds almost three quarters of confirmed cases.
Kenya recorded a seventh case Saturday; Uganda has declared itself Ebola-free.
Why it matters: The outbreak is caused by the rare Bundibugyo virus, which has no approved vaccine or treatment. Its spread now runs along a border region marked by armed violence and displacement.
WHO's Mohamed Yakub Janabi said case pockets are falling while geographic spread widens.
Janabi said getting infected people to seek care remains a major challenge.
