Africa CDC: DRC Ebola Outbreak Not Yet Under Control

The geographic spread is the more telling detail here: 62 health zones across seven provinces, with one province carrying the bulk of cases, points to an outbreak that has outgrown any single response corridor. A case fatality rate near half, in a setting where the agency itself says the data cannot yet confirm a peak, keeps this firmly in the category of an unresolved public-health emergency rather than a contained one. The open question is whether surveillance and response capacity can be extended to the peripheral zones fast enough to change the trajectory.
