The World Health Organisation says nine further cases of the deadly Ebola virus have been confirmed in the Democratic Republic of Congo.
At least 174 people in the country's West Kasai region have died so far in the current outbreak.
Symptoms of the epidemic - high temperature, bloody diarrhoea and visible haemorrhaging - were first seen in the region on 27 April.
There is no known cure for Ebola, which is fatal in around 80% of cases.
