What do we know about Ebola in the DRC? The Democratic Republic of Congo is battling its 16th Ebola outbreak in Kasai Province. Remote locations make response difficult, but WHO and Africa CDC have deployed rapid-response teams, mobile labs, and 2,000 vaccine doses. Authorities are isolating cases, tracing contacts, and raising awareness to stop the spread. | BBC News Africa

This week, in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, the last people who came into contact with someone who had Ebola finished their follow up period. None of them have shown signs of disease. Having this information is crucial to controlling the outbreak, and we were only able to get it thanks to tireless contact tracers like Marie-Roseline. | World Health Organization (WHO)
