“”Four additional people who contracted the virus — all contacts of the deceased and including the child of one of the fatal cases — are being treated in an isolation unit at the Wangata Hospital in Mbandaka,” UNICEF said in a statement.

“”The deaths occurred between the 18th and 30th of May but they were only confirmed as Ebola-related yesterday.””
