Ebola spreads to seventh DRC province as gov’t insists cases are declining

The Ebola virus has expanded its reach to a seventh province in the Democratic Republic of Congo. This development follows the movement of an infected individual who traveled through both Rwanda and Uganda, raising concerns regarding the geographical containment of the outbreak.

Despite the virus's continued spread, the Congolese government maintains that the total number of cases is currently in decline. The situation remains a significant public health challenge as authorities attempt to balance reports of territorial expansion with official assessments of the outbreak's trajectory.
