Half of Ebola cases in DR Congo 'unidentified'
2 August 2019
Only about 50% of cases of Ebola in the Democratic Republic of Congo are being identified, the government's response co-ordinator has said.
Jean-Jacques Muyembe warned that the current deadly outbreak could last up to three years.
He said a man who died this week in the city of Goma, on the Rwandan border, had 10 children and had infected a number of people.
The Ebola outbreak has killed more than 1,800 people in the past year.
At least 2,700 people have been infected in the worst Ebola outbreak in the DR Congo's history.
