DRC Reports 3,398 Ebola Deaths
The authorities in the Democratic Republic of Congo reported that the Ebola virus outbreak has surpassed seven thousand cases, making it the worst in the country's history, with 7,022 infections and 3,398 deaths since the beginning of the epidemic. The outbreak began last May in North Eastern Ituri Province and spread to remote areas, including South Oubanji, which borders the Central African Republic and Republic of the Congo-Brazzaville. The current epidemic involves the "Bundibugyo" strain, for which there is no approved vaccine or treatment to date, resulting in approximately 3,400 deaths and the recovery of 1,671 others. The outbreak has raised concerns within the local community, especially in schools, where health measures such as handwashing and awareness campaigns are being implemented to limit its spread.
