BREAKING NEWS: EBOLA OUTBREAK IN CONGO

The World Health Organization (WHO) said the case could be a "game-changer" given the city's population of more than two million.




But the WHO expressed confidence in plans to deal with the diagnosis.
DR Congo's health ministry said a pastor tested positive after arriving in the city by bus on Sunday.




More than 1,600 people have died since the Ebola outbreak began in eastern DR Congo a year ago - the second biggest outbreak ever.

The first Ebola patient in the largest city in the east of the Democratic Republic of the Congo has died, authorities have said.




The spread of the virus to Goma, a city of roughly 1 million people and a regional transport hub, has raised fears the outbreak, already the second deadliest ever Ebola epidemic, could spread more widely.
