The good news is that DRC in particular has a lot of experience in handling Ebola outbreaks.
About half of all Ebola outbreaks have occurred there.
The last one was just last year in Kasai Province. That was Zaire Ebola and at least 28 people died in that outbreak.

@kakape@mas.to The DRC does not seem to deal with the outbreak. Of the geographic names in the ACDC press release Rwampala seems not to be in the DRC, nor a town, but a district in Uganda. Having named 3 different areas in 2 countries makes it not seem very probable to assume direct connections between the cases. Mongwalu seems to mean Mongbwalu in Wikipedia, dominated by AngloGold Ashanti Kilo, a joint venture with a South African Mining Company.
