The deadly Ebola virus has killed 17 people and is suspected of infecting a further 21 in Congo fuelling fears of another global outbreak of the disease.
Congo health officials have reported 21 cases showing signs of viral hemorrhagic fever, a severe illness that causes fever and bleeding disorders and in some cases death.
The new cases will alarm health officials after an unprecedented outbreak of the disease between 2014 and 2016 killed more than 11,000 people across western Africa.
