Ebola outbreak in Africa has yet to be brought under control

Six months after the Ebola outbreak began in DR Congo, the virus is still spreading uncontrollably. This is reported by Reuters with reference to human rights organizations.

The number of confirmed cases exceeded 11,000. The outbreak was declared in mid-May. It is caused by the rare Bundibugyo virus, for which there are no approved treatments and vaccines.

This is the second largest outbreak in the history of observations. According to doctors, help does not reach those who need it. They pointed to untrained staff, a lack of fuel for ambulances and a shortage of surveillance teams.

Transmission of the virus in hospitals is widespread in some areas.

British epidemiologist Neil Ferguson said only about half of the cases were detected. According to him, transmission of the virus can continue in a year.
