80% of cases of unknown origin pose Ebola spread risk
The World Health Organization confirms the possibility of containing the Ebola virus outbreak in the Democratic Republic of Congo within three months, despite its expansion to include six regions and the rise in death toll to more than 2,325 cases. The challenge lies in the fact that 70 to 80% of new cases have no clear link to known patients, reflecting ongoing transmission of the virus across multiple areas. To date, only 60% of the required funding of $115 million has been raised to combat the epidemic. Authorities are intensifying their efforts by providing 400 beds over the past two weeks and deploying experts to trace contacts.
