Authorities in the Democratic Republic of Congo report that the current Ebola outbreak in the country’s east is worsening. The Congolese Ministry of Health says confirmed Ebola cases have risen to 782. The ministry also reports 181 deaths linked to the outbreak. Multiple outlets cite the ministry’s update posted on social media on Sunday evening. While the figures are described as confirmed, several reports note that the total number of infections is likely higher than the confirmed count because not all cases are captured in official reporting. One account adds that the confirmed outbreak is dated to May 15, implying the tally reflects confirmed diagnoses since that confirmation while additional suspected or unconfirmed cases may exist. The reports collectively emphasize the upward trend in both case numbers and the death toll, based on the ministry’s latest statement, and they present the figures as the most current totals available from health authorities at the time of publication.
