Total of three cases confirmed in city of 1 million people


Two more cases of Ebola have been confirmed in the north-western city of Mbandaka in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC), according to an article on The Guardian website.

All the deaths so far have occurred in Bikoro, a rural area about 75 miles from Mbandaka.
