The Catholic priest who was infected with the Ebola virus in the Democratic Republic of Congo was identified as P.Lucian Ambunga.
Earlier this week, health officials in the Congo revealed he had been infected with the virus in the town of Mbandaka. "We quarantined a priest from the diocese of Mbandaka-Bikoro who tested positive for the Ebola virus," a medical source told AFP.
Katherine Overcamp of Catholic Relief Services revealed that p. Lucian contracted Ebola "taking care of someone who has died".
She added that the priest was responding well to treatment, the Catholic News Service reported.
According to a World Health Organization account, more than 50 cases have been identified since early April.
Here is a picture of the priest for whom he is prayed by his bishop in the DRC, where he is currently in quarantine.
