Congo-Kinshasa: DR Congo Ebola Cases Rise to 1,274, 96 Health Workers Infected - Africa CDC
The Africa CDC reports that Ebola cases in the Democratic Republic of the Congo have risen to 1,274, with 96 healthcare workers infected. The outbreak is primarily concentrated in the Equateur Province, though spillover cases have been identified in Uganda.
Why it matters
The rising infection rate among healthcare workers and the spread across provincial borders highlight a significant public health crisis requiring urgent containment efforts.
Mr Cho attributed the spread partly to exposure in health facilities, noting that 92 healthcare workers had been infected in the DRC and four in Uganda, bringing the total to 96.
