THE health ministry yesterday declared Congo fever an outbreak after the death of a Keetmanshoop man at the Windhoek Central Hospital on Tuesday, and the hospitalisation of two others.

He said the case registered on Tuesday could be regarded as an outbreak, "according to the World Health Organisation guidelines".
