Health works visit remote DR Congo to help bust Ebola myths More than 40 people have died from the dealy Ebola virus in Democratic Republic of Congo -- although, according to the World Health Organization, the outbreak is not related to the worst ever epidemic of the virus which has killed more than 3,000 people in west Africa this year. Some 70 cases of the virus have been confirmed in a remote region near the town of Boende some 800 kilometres (500 miles) northwest of Kinshasa, where health workers from UNICEF are trying to encourage local residents to visit their local hospitals for treatment.
