Epidemia de Ebola din Congo a depășit 7.000 de cazuri și s-a extins într-o nouă provincie. Aproape jumătate dintre bolnavi au murit

The Ebola outbreak in the Democratic Republic of Congo has surpassed 7,000 cases, with nearly half resulting in death. The current outbreak, declared in May, has spread to a seventh province. Experts believe many cases remain unreported, and the Bundibugyo strain may have been spreading undetected for months. Despite the high case growth rate, the Africa CDC remains hopeful for a reversal in trends, noting a slight decline in cases in some areas. However, the death rate remains high among untreated individuals, and there is no specific vaccine or treatment for this strain.
