Brazilian health authorities have isolated two patients showing Ebola-like symptoms, though one later tested negative. This measure comes as the Democratic Republic of the Congo faces an outbreak exceeding 1,000 cases.

Brazilian health authorities isolated two patients who recently arrived from African countries after they showed symptoms consistent with Ebola, officials said on Friday, although one later tested negative. The move comes as the Democratic Republic of the Congo battles an outbreak that has surpassed 1,000 suspected cases and nearly 250 deaths since May.
