Ebola cases surge in North Kivu as Ituri outbreak slows
Original: Ebola: Sharp jump in cases in North Kivu while outbreak slows in Ituri
Health officials report a sharp increase in Ebola cases in the North Kivu province of the Democratic Republic of Congo, even as the outbreak slows in neighbouring Ituri. The divergence between the two provinces is drawing attention to uneven transmission patterns in the ongoing epidemic, with responders likely to focus resources on the worsening North Kivu region.
Why now: A renewed rise in Ebola cases in North Kivu is raising concern about the outbreak's trajectory in the DRC.
