Health workers at an Ebola treatment center in Beni, Congo DRC,
Just three days before Congo was expected to declare the end of its Ebola outbreak, a new case of the virus was confirmed.
The World Health Organization (WHO) said the new case was confirmed in Beni, a community that had been an epicentre of the second-deadliest Ebola outbreak in history.
WHO's Regional Director for Africa Dr Matshidiso Moeti said she was "sad" to hear about the new case, and said WHO was continuing to work with the country's health ministry to end Ebola.

expecting more cases."
