Ebola Crisis Deepens: DR Congo Cases Near 600 Amid Risk Of Cross-Border Spread

The Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) has reported 598 confirmed Ebola infections and 115 deaths, according to the latest update released by national health authorities.

The outbreak saw a huge surge on Monday, when officials recorded 48 new confirmed cases and 14 additional deaths in a single day. Meanwhile, three more patients recovered from the disease, bringing the total number of recoveries to 22.

Public health officials said the number of new cases reported each week continues to rise, indicating sustained community transmission. They cautioned that without intensified containment efforts and stronger public health measures, the outbreak could quickly expand into new regions.

As of Monday, a total of 297 people were being isolated or receiving treatment, including 113 confirmed Ebola patients and 184 individuals classified as suspected cases.

<h2>Uganda Dispatches Medics To Congo Border Regions</h2>

Diana Atwine, permanent secretary at Uganda's Ministry of Health, said that Uganda has deployed a team of health workers to DRC to contain the outbreak. She made that statement while she was in a meeting with visiting World Health Organisation (WHO) Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus in Kampala.

According to a post by Uganda's health ministry, it is also setting up 50-bed treatment units to support Ebola response efforts in eastern DRC, which is considered the epicenter of the disease.

The World Health Organization's (WHO) current assessment rates the threat level as very high in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) and high in neighboring Uganda and adjacent border areas. However, the risk remains low for the rest of Africa and the world.

The security conditions in many regions of the DRC are preventing health authorities from operating effectively. The regions are infested by armed groups and plagued by constant violence. The epicenter of the outbreak, Ituri province itself, is one of the most active conflict zones. Thus, the help to the patients there is not up to the mark. As a result, the disease is also spreading fast.

Ebola is a highly lethal viral hemorrhagic fever. Over the past five decades, it has caused over 30 outbreaks, primarily in Central and West Africa. The virus takes its name from the Ebola River in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC).

Three strains of the virus — Ebola virus, Sudan virus, and Bundibugyo virus — have caused the largest outbreaks in Africa. Among them, the Ebola virus is considered the deadliest, with fatality rates reaching up to 90% without treatment.

The current outbreak, caused by the Bundibugyo Ebola virus, was officially declared by the DRC health ministry on May 15.
