World Health Organization: Ebola Outbreak in Congo Exceeds Official Figures by Four Times
The World Health Organization has warned that the true extent of the Ebola virus outbreak in the Democratic Republic of the Congo may be twice to four times higher than the official figures, with tracking the spread of infection remaining difficult. Authorities have indicated that about 80% of new cases are not linked to known cases, indicating widespread community transmission, particularly in Ituri Province. So far, health officials have recorded 1,792 cases and 625 deaths, with the majority of cases concentrated in Ituri, and the outbreak extending to other regions. Test results continue to show high positivity rates, suggesting ongoing transmission of the virus.
