Opening excerpt (first ~120 words) tap to expand
Mass gatherings have been banned in the Democratic Republic of Congo capital, Kinshasa, and three other provinces, Tshopo, Haut-Uele and Bas-Uele, to halt the spread of Ebola. The current outbreak of the deadly disease has so far been detected in three provinces in the east, some 1,800 km from Kinshasa, but the authorities fear it spreading to the city of 18 million people. No cases have been confirmed in the capital. However, officials fear the disease could spread from the affected eastern provinces, where infections have risen to 1,274 and deaths to 360. The move has drawn criticism from opposition groups, which accuse the government of using public health measures to block a planned protest against a proposed law.
