00:00A day after the World Health Organization said the Ebola outbreak in the Democratic Republic
00:05of Congo was on track to surpass the deadliest in history.
00:09Officials say it spread to a sixth province.
00:12The Africa Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, says a man who traveled from a
00:16neighboring region, has died in the previously unaffected Bassewile province.
00:22He was a motorcycle taxi driver who'd sought treatment at several hospitals before he passed
00:27away and tested positive for the hemorrhagic virus posthumously.
00:32His colleagues then tried to forcibly take his body, prompting police intervention and
00:38concerns that more people may have been exposed to the illness.
00:42The death toll of 2,100 people so far in the outbreak in Eastern Congo has been reached
00:47almost three times faster than in the 2014-2016 epidemic, the worst ever recorded.
00:53The current outbreak is unfolding in some of the most challenging conditions imaginable.
00:58Some unpaid health workers are striking their threats by rebel groups, anger from long-traumatized
01:03communities and misinformation asserting that Ebola isn't real.
