Congo says the death toll in fastest-growing Ebola outbreak has passed 1,500

The fastest-growing Ebola outbreak in Congo has killed over 1,500 people, with 3,442 cases recorded as of Tuesday. The Bundibugyo virus, which has no approved vaccines or treatments, is spreading in eastern Congo's Ituri province and five other provinces, complicated by conflict-related displacement and insufficient contact tracing. Uganda has declared itself free of Ebola.
