🇬🇶 Unknown illness kills 20 in Equatorial Guinea
A two-day curfew has been called in a northern province of Equatorial Guinea, called Kié-Ntem, after 20 people died of an as-yet unidentified illness.
The deaths were confirmed by the head of Olamze District Hospital, which is a short distance across the border in Cameroon.
According to the Cameroonian health authorities, the victims contracted some form of haemorrhagic fever because their symptoms included nosebleeds, weakness, vomiting blood, fever and diarrhoea.
The Equatoguinean authorities say Kié-Ntem will star under quarantine until the nature of the illness and the source of the outbreak are confirmed.
