People are being urged to avoid 'mass gatherings' in the Congolese province at the center of the mystery disease outbreak that has killed up to 143 people.
The country's health ministry also warned people to wash their hands regularly with soap and water and not to touch dead bodies.
A total of 376 people have been sickened in the outbreak, that has hit Kwango province in the southwest of the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC).
Patients are mostly children over 15 years old, officials say, and are suffering from a flu-like illness with symptoms including a fever, headache, nasal discharge, cough, difficulty breathing and anemia — or a lack of healthy red blood cells.
In response, the ministry has sent a team of health workers to treat sick people and test samples in order to identify the potential disease behind the outbreak.
The World Health Organization has also been alerted over the outbreak, and has sent a team to the area to investigate the illness.
No information on the results of the tests has been released to date, and officials have not speculated as to the disease behind the outbreak.

I saw this hyped elsewhere and knew it would eventually show up here.
*sigh*
Here we go again. I suppose it’d be racist to hold visitors from the Congo in quarantine until they are cleard from health issues.?
Oh my gosh, I’m so impressed.
Has Bill “Experimental Vaccine” Gates been to Congo lately?
The Chinese are there................
That was my first guess. Billy Boy or Fauxi.
Wash your hands and don’t mess with dead bodies. Seems a bit more than the flu. Seems the same warning as Ebola.
Don’t care. If I see bodies in the streets then I might care but not until then. The government has lost my trust forever.
What has Bill Gates been up to in that African nation?
Bill Gates could not be reached for comment
I think the mycoplasma walking pneumonia everywhere lasting WEEKS is more concerning. Nevertheless- I am tired, I have lived too long now (who would have thought horror of modern evil criminality and corruption would make 60’s tired??) and I DO NOT CARE WHAT BUG THEY THREATEN ANYMORE I WILL NOT COMPLY I AM DONE WITH INSANE BS
Even mild diseases kill people in 3rd World countries.
When Biden returns to Nantucket from Africa watch for an unexplained upsurge in the mystery illness.
A day of FR with an Airplane reference is a good day here.
Hats off.
Some people have to be told not to do that. Others sort of figured it out.
As stepping over victims in the New York subways or on a children's play lot in Chicago after a weekend crossfire driveby.
That figures.
Yeah it does figure. Because I haven’t seen that kind of post take first reply in a while. Did you even log in to enter it? You even get the golden buzzer.
Now I get it.
Only longtime FReepers know of the secret spot on which to click to do that with purpose.
You can find out what it is by reviewing sandbox comments (but it may have been quite a while ago).
Don’t be modest. You’re exceptionally good at it. You might even be the originator of such comment.
