'We’re still behind' in Congo's Ebola outbreak even as testing improves, WHO says
The World Health Organization reports that Congo's Ebola outbreak is still lagging despite improvements in testing. As of now, there have been 344 confirmed cases and 60 deaths since the outbreak began in mid-May. Challenges such as limited testing capacity and insecurity in the region continue to hinder effective contact tracing and response efforts.
