The Democratic Republic of Congo’s health ministry confirmed a first case of Ebola in the eastern city of Goma, raising concerns that the second-worst outbreak of the virus could reach neighboring Rwanda.
A pastor who had traveled to Goma by bus from Butembo was found to be infected on Sunday, the ministry said. Health officials have tracked down all the passengers on the bus and they will be vaccinated on Monday. The pastor has been taken back to Butembo, the governor of the North Kivu province, Carly Nzanzu, said in a statement on Monday.
