The Ebola outbreak in the Democratic Republic of Congo remains a serious public-health concern, with health authorities continuing efforts to identify infections and strengthen the response.
The outbreak has raised concern over gaps in infection detection and control as health workers work to contain transmission.
The African health authorities have urged continued vigilance and stronger surveillance as the response develops.
Ebola outbreaks require rapid identification of cases, isolation, contact tracing and infection-prevention measures because the disease can spread through contact with infected bodily fluids.
