201 people have died of Ebola since the epidemic in June in the Democratic Republic of Congo
The Congolese Ministry of Health informed BBC . About half of the victims come from the city of Beni, in the North Kivu region.
The ministry also indicates that 25,000 people in the area have been vaccinated against the disease.
Friday night, the ministry has already announced that it was the country's worst Ebola outbreak. At least 319 people were infected with the virus.
Attacks by medical teams against the rebels mean that not everyone can be vaccinated and the disease spreads more easily. "If the doctors are attacked, they have to stop their work and everything is delayed," said a spokesman for the ministry. "The virus is a long way off."
Spokesman says two aid workers killed in such attacks
In North Kivu region, armed conflict pits several rebel groups and the Congolese Army.
