Ebola Outbreak | Virus has killed at least 220 people

The Ebola outbreak in the Democratic Republic of Congo is outpacing efforts to respond, according to the World Health Organisation.

The death toll from suspected cases of the virus has soared to at least 220 and there are more than 1,000 suspected cases.

The outbreak is still largely centred in northeastern DRC, but more cases were reported over the weekend in Uganda, bringing the total to seven confirmed cases in that country.

On Monday, WHO Director General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said that the outbreak will likely get worse before it gets better.
