Brazil and Italy are investigating two suspected Ebola cases as the outbreak in the Democratic Republic of the Congo continues to grow. Brazilian health authorities isolated two patients who recently arrived from African countries and showed Ebola-like symptoms. One of the two suspected cases in Brazil later tested negative, according to France24. If confirmed, the two suspected cases in Brazil would be the first Ebola infection cases outside Africa since the outbreak began in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, according to the BBC. The Ebola outbreak in the Democratic Republic of the Congo has exceeded 1,000 suspected cases and nearly 250 deaths since May, according to France24. The World Health Organization is warning that the true reach of the Ebola outbreak in central Africa could be much wider than the official figures published by central African authorities, according to ABC Australia. Possible Ebola infections in Italy and Brazil are raising concerns about the virus spreading beyond central Africa, according to Bluesky.
