Ebola in DRC remains serious and continues to evolve. When it was declared on 15 May, 1 province and 2 health zones were affected. On 1st Sep, 6 provinces and 60 health zones are affected representing an area of 240,000 km² comparable to size of the United Kingdom or 5 times the size of Switzerland. In total, we have 6,206 confirmed cases and 3,009 deaths.

Despite the efforts of the Government and partners, we are not yet where we need to be.

This outbreak remains Africa CDC’s highest priority, working closely with WHO and partners, in support to the Government.

We will not relent until this outbreak is brought under control.
