The World Health Organization (WHO) has reported 48 confirmed cases of Ebola virus disease in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) since the outbreak was officially declared early this month. The initial outbreak, declared in the DRC early in November, has now expanded to several regions across the country. The WHO confirms that the virus is spreading, although the exact numbers remain uncertain. Surveillance efforts are ongoing to monitor the situation and assess the overall impact on the affected areas. The agency is working to improve diagnostic capabilities and coordinate resource allocation to manage the situation.
