DR Congo Ebola outbreak on track to become worst in history as thousands go untraced

—Africa CDC and WHO officials warned that the Ebola outbreak in the Democratic Republic of Congo could become the deadliest in history if containment measures are not significantly strengthened. WHO projected the outbreak could reach 20,000 cases without more robust tracing efforts, and thousands of contacts are currently not being followed up. The outbreak's scale has outpaced existing health infrastructure in the affected regions.
