    There are no Ebola disease in the Niania health zone, more than 300 kilometers from Bunia (Ituri). The chief physician of provincial division of health, Dr. Louis Tshulo, stated Friday, July 17 to Radio Okapi, on the base of the analysis results at the laboratory of the National Institute of Biomedical Research (INRB) of Kinshasa.

    "The result has just reached us. The sample we sent from Niania hospital where blood was taken from a suspected case who was bleeding is negative to the Ebola virus and Marburg virus. There are no Ebola disease in Niania currently. I can confirm, and it is the result that comes from Kinshasa, "said Dr. Louis Tshulo.

    He called on everyone to be calm and not to yield to psychosis.

    Samples taken on July 9 from a young man who was bleeding notably from the nose, mouth, ears and skin had created a psychosis in the population and even the nursing corps who treated the patient.

    This young man of about 20 year old and his wife have been quarantined in Niania health zone.
