Angola’s Ebola-like virus set to break record toll with 122 deaths

ANGOLA looked set to equal if not break the record of deaths from the Ebola-like Marburg virus with the number of deaths rising to 122, just one short of the most serious outbreak ever.

Health ministry spokesman Carlos Alberto said a girl younger than two years died on Sunday in Uige, the epicentre of the epidemic north of the capital, Luanda.

"This baby was the child of a 19-year-old woman who died on Sunday morning and the baby died the same evening," he said.
