Two Ebola cases were reported in Nord-Ubangi Province, according to former health minister Jean-Jacques Mbungani Mbanda, who said the findings came from tests at the National Institute of Biomedical Research in Kinshasa.
Health authorities had not yet formally announced the cases, even as Mbungani said the health ministry was expected to issue an official statement.
The outbreak is driven by the Bundibugyo strain and has affected seven provinces so far.
Recent national reporting cited thousands of cases and deaths since the outbreak began in May.
One report put the outbreak at 9,066 cases and 4,381 deaths, and said response efforts are being complicated by community mistrust and conflict between the M23 rebel group and government forces.
