69 Confirmed Dead So Far In DRC Ebola Outbreak; Approximately 150 Cases So Far
Ebola virus disease has sickened 150 people and caused the deaths of at least 69 people in the Democratic Republic of Congo's northeastern region, the nation's Ministry of Health reported Monday.
Of these 150 cases, 119 have been confirmed and 31 are probable. An additional 31 deaths have occurred among probable and suspected cases, which would bring total Ebola deaths to 100 once confirmed. Forty-one people have recovered, according to the ministry.
On average, Ebola kills about half of those infected, but case fatality rates in individual outbreaks have varied from 25% to 90%.
In a tweet posted Monday, Dr. Peter Salama, WHO deputy director-general of emergency preparedness and response, stated that a case in Tchioma, an area of Congo that borders Uganda, "raises concern about further spread."
