WHO: Ebola in DRC worsening
The Ebola virus outbreak in the Democratic Republic of Congo is spiraling out of control, marking the largest in the country's history, with increasing cases and deaths. In just one week, 567 infections and 296 deaths were recorded, bringing the total number of laboratory-confirmed cases to 3,605 and deaths to 1,587, with 651 patients recovering. Weak contact tracing and security challenges are hampering efforts to control the epidemic, as only 80% of contacts are being monitored compared to the optimal 95% needed for effective containment. The rise is partly due to improved surveillance efforts but also indicates a significant expansion of the outbreak.
