Summary
In total, the WHO cites 3,605 laboratory-confirmed cases, including 1,587 deaths. "A significant expansion of measures is needed to control the outbreak," the WHO said. The largest outbreak to date in Congo occurred between 2018 and 2020, when there were 3,317 confirmed cases.
Furthermore, Within the past week, as many infections (567) and as many deaths (296) as in any previous week had been reported. 651 patients survived the infection. Only a maximum of 80 percent of the contacts of infected people would be observed for an infection over three weeks, but according to specialists, 95 percent are necessary.
In addition, Funerals are considered particularly delicate because people are highly contagious beyond death and relatives can easily become infected when washing the bodies. Many people with Ebola are not taken to treatment centers, and relatives often assume that it is another disease when they die.
