Here’s data that shows Congo’s Ebola outbreak is on track to surpass history’s largest
Abuja, Nigeria (AP) - The rapidly spreading Ebola outbreak in Congo is projected to exceed the historical worst outbreak, which occurred between 2014 and 2016 and claimed over 11,000 lives across West Africa, according to data from authorities and Africa's top public health agency. The current outbreak in Congo's eastern region, driven by a mobile population and distrust of medical authorities, has already recorded 2,516 deaths out of 5,290 confirmed cases.
