Congo's Ebola deaths top 5,000 as fear of continent-wide spread mounts

Data from the Congolese Ministry of Health showed that the disease has killed 5,026 people out of 10,351 infected, at a nearly 50% lethality rate.

剛果（金）本輪埃博拉疫情死亡人數已超過5000，病死率接近50%，並首次擴散到非洲三個地區。武裝衝突、民眾不信任和醫護人員罷工拖欠工資，使接觸者追蹤與檢測難以推進，八成新增病例來自監控鏈條之外。
