Why This Matters
The Ebola outbreak in the Democratic Republic of the Congo has now killed nearly 1,000 people and infected more than 2,400. Two American citizens who contracted the disease while doing humanitarian work in the DRC have been medically evacuated to Germany for treatment. A case has also been imported into France. Uganda, which recorded 20 cases, has discharged its last patient and begun a 42-day countdown toward declaring its outbreak over.
