While Congolese officials say the sharp rise in new cases appears to be slowing, they caution the outbreak has not yet peaked. The latest report by the country's public health institute said transmission remains sustained, with recent fluctuations in cases likely influenced by reporting delays and ongoing data consolidation.
The latest update from Congo’s public health institute said there have been 2,536 confirmed Ebola cases and 1,033 deaths, with at least 738 patients in isolation or hospitalised.
