Ebola outbreak in the Democratic Republic of the Congo surpasses 10,000 cases and spreads across Africa
Published
More than 10,000 Ebola cases have been recorded in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. The Ebola outbreak is also spreading to other African countries, and the situation has raised concern internationally.
This outbreak is the largest and deadliest Ebola outbreak ever recorded in the Congo. It is also the world's second-largest Ebola outbreak. The largest was the West African epidemic of 2014–2016.
Ebola is a serious viral disease. It spreads from person to person, for example through the bodily fluids of a sick person. When the virus spreads to several countries, the disease is difficult to control, and health authorities must monitor the situation closely.
The development of the situation continues to be monitored closely. Experts and health organisations are informing the public about new cases as the situation changes.
