- Congo says 2,000 people have died in its Ebola outbreak, the fastest growing on record
Congo reported at least 2,000 deaths from its Ebola outbreak, which is noted as the fastest growing on record. The latest government data showed a total of 4,381 confirmed cases and that 704 patients are currently in admission and isolation. This current outbreak is particularly challenging because the rare Bundibugyo virus responsible has no approved vaccines or treatments.
