Ebola infections in the Democratic Republic of Congo have surpassed 7,000, according to government data, as health authorities continue efforts to contain the outbreak.
The outbreak has affected several provinces, with South Ubangi becoming the latest area to report infections. Authorities are closely monitoring the spread as health workers work to identify cases, trace contacts and strengthen public health measures.

Health officials and international partners are supporting surveillance, treatment and prevention efforts as they work to limit further transmission.
The development highlights the continuing threat posed by infectious diseases in parts of Africa and the importance of rapid detection, public health preparedness and access to medical care.
