Summary
Around 1,500 of those infected did not survive. According to MSF, more money is urgently needed to support medical teams, monitor contacts and provide further humanitarian aid in the poor country. In total, more than 3,600 infections have been confirmed in the laboratory.
Furthermore, In a treatment center in Bunia, according to MSF, 90 percent of patients were not previously registered as contact persons. This is considered the key to success: if more than 90 percent of the contacts are known, isolated and treated in the first signs of disease, the outbreak can be brought under control. The problem is that the authorities still know too few relatives of infected people to protect them from infection.
In addition, The head of the World Health Organization (WHO), Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, has traveled to the Congo for the second time since the outbreak began.
