Coronavirus: DRC records second case

Health authorities in the Democratic Republic of Congo confirmed that a second person has tested positive for coronavirus in the country and is being treated in hospital.

The patient is a 46-year-old Cameroonian national who lives in D.R Congo with his family.

He returned to the country from France and did not show symptoms of the virus.

The news comes a day after doctors in the country decided to return to work, ending a two-month strike.

Reports say the medical union signed an agreement with the government to improve their working conditions and pay.
