Ebola outbreak in Congo still spreading, WHO says

The Democratic Republic of Congo has confirmed 1,561 cases, including ​506 deaths, in the worst-ever outbreak of the rare Bundibugyo species ​of Ebola, for which there is no proven treatment or ⁠cure.

The Ebola ‌outbreak in Congo has not yet stabilised and is still expanding as population movement fuels transmission, a World Health Organisation official said on Tuesday.

Many of the victims of the ​epidemic have been healthcare ​workers, including those ⁠who caught the virus before the outbreak was declared in mid-May.
