Ebola in DR Congo Is Spreading Faster Than Any Outbreak Before, WHO Says

WHO reports the DR Congo Ebola outbreak is spreading faster than any in history, with 567 infections and 296 deaths in a single week. For context, the 2014–2016 West African Ebola crisis peaked at 26 cases weekly. This strain has no approved vaccine, so responders must find sick people, track who they contacted, and keep the infected apart from others to stop transmission.
