The UN has reported that an unidentified disease in Angola has killed four people. Around 200 other victims have been reported to the local hospitals. Symptoms include a fever and extreme drowsiness. The first report came from Luanda's northern Cacuaco suburb in October. Specialist have been studying the disease in the suburb for two weeks.
The World Health Organization said that anyone anyone with these symptoms in the area is to report to the hospital. They have said not to panic, but more and more have become ill and they still can't identify the cause. They are currently still doing tests and believe that it may have come from a toxic substance. They are unsure if it is infectious but are working to find out more.
This can be a very serious issue if they can't even tell where it is coming from and if it can be spread by those already infected. They have no clue what it is or how it spreads. This outbreak started in October and now it being the middle of November and they still are unsure, means it could continue on a lot longer causing more deaths.
