Ebola new cases
According to the World Health Organization (WHO), there have been no new cases of Ebola reported in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) since the end of the 12th outbreak in June 2020. The DRC has made significant progress in controlling the outbreak, and the country has been declared Ebola-free.
However, it's important to note that the risk of Ebola outbreaks is never zero, and the WHO and other health organizations continue to monitor the situation closely. The WHO has a robust surveillance system in place to detect and respond to any new cases of Ebola.
Here are some key statistics on the Ebola outbreak in the DRC:
- Total cases: 3,463
- Total deaths: 2,287
- Total survivors: 1,166
- Total recovered: 1,010
The 12th outbreak of Ebola in the DRC was declared over on June 25, 2020, after 42 days without a new case. The outbreak began on June 1, 2018, and lasted for 18 months.
It's worth noting that while there have been no new cases of Ebola reported in the DRC, there is still a risk of Ebola outbreaks in other parts of the world, including West Africa. The WHO and other health organizations continue to work to strengthen surveillance and response systems to detect and respond to any new cases of Ebola.
