Ebola outbreak in DR Congo shows signs of hope but remains dangerous
  • The Democratic Republic of Congo has reported around 380 confirmed cases of Ebola, significantly lower than earlier estimates.
  • Only 45% of individuals in direct contact with Ebola patients are being traced, which is below the 90% needed for effective control.
  • Despite the drop in confirmed cases, the outbreak remains dangerous and requires building trust within communities for effective management.
