Ebola Surge in Congo Hits Sixth Province | San Antonio News

Ebola is spreading faster than ever in Congo, now infecting a sixth province as a deadly Bundibugyo strain—without any approved vaccines or treatments—claims over 2,100 lives in just under half the time it took to hit the same toll during the 2014 West African outbreak. Health workers are on strike over unpaid wages, rebel groups are disrupting efforts, and communities are fueled by anger and misinformation. The outbreak, which began in February, is outpacing containment as 60-70% of new cases stem from unmonitored contacts. Hope arrives with new clinical trials for two potential treatments now underway in one of the hardest-hit regions.
