The Africa Centers for Disease Control (Africa CDC) said on Thursday that the Ebola outbreak in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) and Uganda has now killed over 200 people, and the number of confirmed cases surged by 38 percent in just the past week.
Africa CDC reported 894 confirmed cases in total, with most of them sourced to the eastern DRC. This makes the current outbreak of the Bundibugyo strain of Ebola much worse than Uganda’s first known Ebola outbreak in 2000, but not yet as bad as the devastating DRC outbreaks in 2014 and 2018.
Doctors fear the current outbreak will prove to be much larger than the confirmed case totals, because epidemiologists are not certain exactly when it began, and they are struggling to perform contract tracing on the large number of people who came into contact with known Ebola victims.
Africa CDC epidemiologist Wessam Mankoula said there should be 17,000 to 35,000 contacts for the 894 confirmed cases – but so far only about 4,000 contacts have been traced, or about 15 percent of the total.
